The Story of the Soup: Carrot Sausage

Carrot Sausage

Chef Miguel @ 3rd Coast Cafe

You know those neighborhood places that just keep you coming back. The places you can’t quite put your finger on what it is, but if someone asks you, you’d rattle off a whole list of reasons why it’s the place to be. Not just for the comfort, but because it’s got character, it delivers, and it’s part of the fabric of who this town is.

In fact, the New York Post says, “The 3rd Coast Café is as Chicago as Wrigley Field.”

Take it one step further and you find a chef that cares, who produces great food time after time, and who’s also continually reaching for new creative heights.

From someone who knows the chef: “Miguel had roasted carrot soup and fresh sausage so he tested putting them together. A perfect, slightly weird, hit! The flavor is incredible. Filling yet not heavy, colorful and vibrant.”

Because of Chef Miguel and his pioneering spirit, 3rd Coast Café is known for its “one-of-a-kind specialty” soups. The chef has hundreds of them under his belt. He picks the soup of the day on his own feeling, and you never know what you are going to get.

The soup I’m highlighting is the Roasted Carrot Sausage. Main ingredients: roasted carrot, onion, sausage, and chicken stock. It’s known for its intense flavor and velvety texture, and its personality could be described as feisty, warm, comforting, smooth, and savory.

Bold and satisfying, it can stand-alone or pair well with any other personality around it. Kind of like the 3rd Coast Café in our rich, eclectic Chicago.
