IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — With temperatures dropping, people’s priorities are now all about staying warm and eating well. One local spot is serving up just that.
A Street Soup is being recognized for its award-winning flavors. Last month, they won best in gold for catering, best sandwiches & soups, and silver for their cookies in Greater Idaho Falls.
“It makes us really proud. We work really hard back here, too,” said Chef Libby Hercher. “We try to make everything fresh. We try to do our best. We put out the best product for everybody. We don’t cut corners around here; everything is handmade. We work hard for it, so we put it out because we love doing it.”
