This soup would perhaps be the most surprising one on the list because Culver's is known for its burgers, fried chicken, fries, and frozen custard. However, it offers impeccable bowls of soups.

Culver's doesn't have a specific soup menu as it's made fresh at each outlet. Hence, customers can ask for the menu on the day, and it can vary in different outlets. Some of the fast-food chain's soups include broccoli cheese, chicken noodle, vegetable beef, and Boston clam chowder.

However, arguably, the best of Culver's soups is their George's chili. It is a homestyle bowl of chili made with beef, tomatoes, kidney beans, peppers, onions, celery, and pieces. It's medium spicy and comes with some toppings and saltines. It is available for $4.22 a cup.

Aside from these five, fast-food chains like Wendy's and Subway also have a delicious bowl of soup on their menu. While they are available to order in, it's best to have them fresh at the outlets.
