Legendary Menu Items: Tortilla Soup from Jim's


Jim's Restaurant is the very definition of a food staple, and has been in San Antonio for many years.  Every patron goes through their doors to feast on their favorite plate. When I go, I see alot of diners ordering either chicken fried steak, pot roast, a frontier burger, or even breakfast in the evening.  But one item on the menu can be seen being enjoyed by almost everyone at Jim's.  It's not even an entree, yet has won a slew of awards.  It has become their signature menu item.  San Antonio loves the tortilla soup from Jim's.

Jim's tortilla soup is the perfect appetizer.  It is full of flavor, with the perfect amount of spice.  It comes in two different sizes.  You have your choice of a bowl or cup.  It comes with tortilla strips, and the perfect amount of chicken.  I religiously order a cup of tortilla soup before my chicken fried steak hits the table.  It is food nirvana.  You mention Jim's, and tortilla soup almost immediately comes up.  Some of my friends start their day with a bowl.  It has become so popular because it is comfort food at its best.  And that is what Jim's is all about.  Familiar food made and served by friendly people.

In the last 10 years, other restaurants have their own tortilla soup.  Alot of them are really good.  But....there is only one that has earned legendary status.  It is undeniably delicious.  If you have never tried Jim's tortilla soup, you are in for a treat.  There are Jim's restaurants all over San Antonio, so what are you waiting for.  You owe it to yourself to try it.  PROVECHITO!
