Deli soup (hot bar)
Varies entirely by the specific soup being served on a given day.
Lens analyzedDeli hot bar soup is any of a rotating selection of soups kept warm at a grocery store's self-serve or counter-service hot bar, ladled into a container by weight or size rather than sold pre-packaged. The specific soup varies daily or by store.
Where it comes from
Hot bar service developed as grocery stores expanded their prepared foods sections, offering a rotating menu of hot items, including soup, as a quick meal option without needing to cook from scratch.
Buying it
Ask what soup is currently in the hot bar and how long it's been held, since ingredients and allergens vary by the specific soup offered that day.
Storing it
Refrigerate hot bar soup within two hours of purchase and use it within about three days, reheating until steaming hot throughout.
Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
