Pumpkin soup is a staple on fall restaurant menus but most people wouldn't think that you would find Miami's best pumpkin soup in a Vietnamese restaurant. Customers rave about Hy-Vong's squash and pumpkin soup. It's just the right amount of creamy and hearty with a touch of spice, packed in a place best known for pho. It's the perfect starter for any meal but for Hy-Vong, it is a signature dish.

If you have a some spare dough and are looking to treat yourself to a night of authentic French cuisine, then head to La Gloutonnerie. Those visiting the Magic City from Paris swear it's the best French food that they can get away from home. A particular favorite is the French onion soup, which this spot calls the Gratinee Lyonnaise. It's basically the classic French onion soup with an extra heaping of cheese layered on top so it cascades over the bowl. It's the definition of magnifique.

Most soups are fancy, hearty or chunky, but sometimes you just want something warm, comforting and familiar and what's more familiar than beer? The Big Bear Brewing Company found a way to incorporate beer into its creation – the beer muenster cheese soup. This creamy concoction is served in a bread bowl so you can dip to your heart's delight. The flavor of beer is present but it mingles with the cheese so nicely that some people even order a beer to drink with the soup. Sometimes, you just can't get too much of a good thing.

You can't travel or live near the Conch Republic without partaking of the conch chowder. Conch is a snail like creature from the sea that typically has a chewy texture. However if it's done correctly, it can be salty, flavorful and soft to the bite. At the Rustic Inn Crabhouse, you can find just that. It's just South Florida's way of delivering a bit of tropical into a winter dish.
