unlimited drinks and dessert with lots of variety
to choose. Souper!Salad! has been at the
same location for over 40 years, but was purchased,
refurbished, revamped and redesigned in 2013
by Mark and Leslie.
Mark, originally from Elmhurst, Illinois, ended up in
Albuquerque via his dad's military pilot career.
Mark retired from the labs, after 30 years,
but had always wanted to own a restaurant, so in
2013 he started his second career.

The restaurant attracts the elderly, the health
conscious, families who like a variety,
parties of one. Comfort for all!
Most become avid fans and regulars
at the Wyoming location.
In fact, Robert McClure, a regular
for almost 20 years, standing with
Mark, on the right, made a special point
to grab my attention and say, "Great Buffet!"
The employees are consistent,
as well as, the clientel.
Maya, gorgeous, front of the house,
has been a server for 20+ years. She would
not let me take a picture, but I could see that
she was very friendly and familiar
with the customers and they with her.
These days Mark shares the
daily workings with his able body
beaming GM - Jeannine.
Elena the talented "Souper!Star!" has also
worked at Souper!Salad! for 25+ years.
She makes the soup fresh every day.
Her trending flavors are:
Clam Chowder, Chicken Enchilada,
and a very popular
Vegetable with fresh cut veggies,
Broccoli & Cheese, Chicken Noodle,
Santa Fe Chicken, Lemon Chicken and
and Red Beans Rice & Sausage.
Finally, we must mention Richard,
dishwasher extrordinaire,
who proudly touts 20 years of service.
The employees are consistent,
the customers are consistent
AND the food is consistent!
You will always find all the standards and
