world's best instant noodle soup, and we picked up so much momentum that we're speeding right
into a whole new set of soups. We're driving right
through it, I should say, because today we're showing love to soups that are often overlooked, soup so comforting you
ain't gotta even get out of your car to eat 'em. I'm talking about fast food soups. - Today, eight burning bowls of delicious drive-through delicacies will go head-to-head in
this slippery slop fest. Only one fast food soup
can be the gustatory goop that reigns supreme as
the wet lunch dream. It's time for Souptember to
Remember: Fast Food Soups. - All right, we posted a
survey on our Instagram and YouTube community tab. Always check that stuff. And over 28,000 of you voted to determine the top eight vote getters in today's fast food soup bracket. They are Wendy's chili. - [Rhett] Steak 'n Shake genuine chili. - [Link] Panera southwest
chicken tortilla soup. - [Rhett] Quizno's broccoli cheese soup. - [Link] Subway cream of broccoli soup. - [Rhett] Quizno's chicken noodle soup. - [Link] Panera bistro French onion soup. - [Rhett] And Boston Market
rotisserie chicken noodle soup. - At the end of today's tournament, only one of these fast food
soups will have the honor of being placed at top
of the golden soup stoop. - I understand. - Let's do this. (boxing bell chiming) We're starting off with a chili cook off between Wendy's chili, number one seed, and Steak 'n Shake genuine chili. - I didn't even know they
had chili at Steak 'n Shake. I know about the Wendy's though. - And I didn't know if it was genuine, but apparently it is,
the number eight seed. - What should we start with? Everybody knows what
Wendy's chili tastes like. - Well, let me may get
one little bean here with yesterday's burger in it. I was talking to Josh.
- (whispers) That is so good. - He did confirm that
they themselves confirmed that it's not yesterday's
burger, but it's just the burger, it's the extra burger, right? - [VOICE] Yeah.
- Extra burger. Now at Steak 'n Shake, are their steaks made out of burgers? Or their burgers made out of steaks? - [VOICE] Yes. - Neither, no. It's no and no. - But really, the chili... Boy, that's like a Texas style. - It's very thick. I mean, my initial
reaction was, it's better. I gotta go back. - This is the kind of
chili that you would taste at an actual chili cook-off, whereas Wendy's chili's like kind of chili you expect from Wendy's. - I've always liked Wendy's chili- - [Rhett] It's really good. - But I've never tasted
it right against this. And this is- - I don't know, going back
to that Wendy's though- - [Link] It's thicker, it's smokier. - It's sweet. - It really comes down to, do you like sweet, watery, or do you like thick, smoky, savory? - This is not as easy as I thought. I thought this was gonna
be a runaway for Wendy's. - I think the genuine chili is taking it. - That tastes just like
straight-up great chili. - Homemade, yeah. - It's genuine, guys. - And y'all, you know the
See You Ladle is back. So it's on your side. Hey, don't feel bad. - I'm sorry. I hate when the number one seed gets popped in the first round. - Sorry, Wendy's, but
you're going out, girl. See you ladle. Oh, the bounce shot, in and out. That's because there wasn't
actually chili in it. - Chili doesn't want to go down, Wendy's. - So the genuine Steak 'n Shake chili with a big upset right at the start. (boxing bell chiming) All right, we got Panera
southwest chicken tortilla soup versus Quizno's broccoli cheese soup. - I can't help but notice that Quizno's- - Went all out. - Yeah, it's like, "We want
our packaging to say 12 ounces, "Not Quizno's." - You need to know
exactly how much you get, and then that's it. Where's it from, I don't know. How much is it, 12 ounces. - [Link] Oh, there's a meat chunk. Make sure you get a meat chunk. - Now Panera, they kind of
pride themselves on their soup. They'll even serve it
to you in a bread bowl. - Yeah, you consider it- - You gotta have confidence
when you're gonna do that. - When you look at the menu, you consider their soups
a legitimate option. - [Stevie] Did you guys have a Panera in Buies Creek or Dunn? - Well, thanks for
giving me so much credit. We have one caution light. - [Stevie] Well, okay,
all of Harnett County, did you have a Panera? Because in Greensboro, even
though it was founded in 1987, I thought it was new. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah, we all thought it was new even though we didn't even have one. - [Stevie] It took things up a notch. - We had to go to Cary to go to Panera. - [Stevie] It felt like a real restaurant. - That's pretty good broccoli
cheese soup right there. - Yeah, it is. - I think I like it
significantly more than this. - Oh, absolutely. This is really good. This is a disappointment. - I'm trying to find something about this that I like, and I can't. So you know what that means. - That goes for Panera in general for me. - Panera, see you ladle. - That was a flop. - That was really weak. - Quizno's broccoli cheese soup. It don't matter the
packaging, it's beautiful. (boxing bell chiming) Our third seed, Subway's
cream of broccoli, is staring down our sixth seed, Quizno's chicken noodle soup. They hate each other. - But look how the packaging
is done, look at this. This is like, how much
is it, I don't know. But is it hot? Yes, it's hot. - How much is it? It's 12 ounces. Is it hot, I don't know. - This is significantly
less creamy looking than the Quizno's cream of broccoli. - [Link] Well, hold on, that's
not what we're comparing. - I know. - Forget that existed. We're just comparing it to the Quiz'. - Mm, it's still pretty tasty. - Yeah, it is. It's deceptively thick. - Look at the size of the noodles in this Quizno's situation. - Man, they're going
hard with the big noods. Now my kids love to order
chicken noodle soup at places. Any place that has it they'll... You know, I don't understand. - Try that, Neal. - Mm. - That's as good as I can possibly imagine chicken noodle soup tasting. - It's very celery-flor... Florward. - Is it celery-florward? - It's celery-florward. - It's very salty, which
might be deceptively making me think it tastes real good. - Something else to kind of
put Subway in their place, in 2013, Subway was sued for
selling 11-inch footlong subs. - I remember this. - Subway had to pay $520,000 in legal fees and $500 to each of the 10
individuals who filed suit. We could have gotten in on that. - [Link] Dang, see you ladle. - Yeah, this is, again,
it's not a bad soup, but this is extraordinary in my opinion. - And now I think, since it's going away, we can say it's not as good as the Quizno's cheese
and broccoli either. - This is not as good as the Quizno's cheese
and broccoli either. I'm gonna see you ladle. - Do it, Rhett. - I'm losing it. - [Link] Quizno's moving on
again with chicken noodle soup. (boxing bell chiming) - All right, now we've
got the number two seed, Panera's bistro French onion soup, versus the number seven seed, Boston Market rotisserie
chicken noodle soup. Now I'm a huge French onion soup fan. If they're serving it at a restaurant- - I've noticed you order it a lot. Yeah, and it comes with
a big thing of cheese. But what do you notice is not in this? - [Link] There's not a cheese crust. - It's like the part of French onion soup that nobody likes, and nothing else. - Topped with Gruyere and house-made black
pepper focaccia croutons. - You know what? There actually is a little... There's a little piece of cheese in there. I can see it. - I think I can taste it too. - It's too much not cheese though. - You want more cheese. You're disappointed. - That's another way of
saying not enough cheese. - Yeah, when you don't have that, you're left with the sherry wine vinegar. - It's too strong. It needs the fat of the
cheese to cut that flavor, and it's just not there for it. - Speaking of fat, there's
a big fat rotisserie chicken that's been pulled apart and put in this. I mean, you've got little
rectangular pieces of noodle. - [Rhett] It's almost too much. - Boston Market was the
first place we ever ate at when we moved to Los Angeles. - True. We really broke the seal. We broke the seal on this city. - Hey, we just came to LA. Where should we eat? Boston Market. - It's not that great. It's way better than this though. - I like Boston Market. - Panera did not show up today. I mean, I would say, Panera, you had an opportunity, and you missed it. - Yeah, so once again,
you got the see you ladle. - I gotta really concentrate on this one. These empty things are just hard to throw. - Yeah, it's not enough in there. Oh, that was close though. That was close. And the Boston Market, first place ever that we ate at in LA. (boxing bell chiming) Steak 'n Shake genuine chili versus Quizno's broccoli cheese soup. Guys, we have eliminated
the top four seats. - Yeah, that just shows you that we have no loyalty
at all to your ideas. No, we're just being honest. We're just being honest to our palates. - Some good chili. It's meaty, it's beany. - That's a legit chili. - [Link] It could stand up to any- - Like if you took that
to a chili cook-off- - Any chili cook-off, yeah. - I feel like you'd be like, "Hmm, I see what you did there." - And I think this serves as a standard for broccoli cheese soup. I mean, it's pretty dang good. - It does set the bar high
for broccoli cheese soup. - Yeah, I really can't complain about it. - It's waving the banner. It's waiving the banner
for broccoli cheese soup. - I'm gonna hit you with a couple of facts because this is not an easy decision. Steak 'n Shake founder Gus Belt, first of all, his last name is Belt. He used to go through
the restaurant's trash and the returned plates, and then he would reserve the food. No, he wouldn't. He would see what customers weren't eating and use his findings to
further hone the menu. That's smart. - That is so smart, Gus Belt. - Owner's out there digging
through the dumpster. Hey, check your pride at the door for being a good business owner. - Gus Belt is also my
favorite constellation. (all laughing) I got to give it to Steak 'n Shake. Oh, shoot. - This chili-
- So surprising. - Is so unexpectedly good that I just- - We've got to let the Quizno's go. I'm with you on that. Quizno's broccoli cheese
soup, see you ladle. - (laughs) And that means
Steak 'n Shake genuine chili is moving on. (boxing bell chiming) It's come down to a
chicken noodle showdown. We've got Quizno's chicken noodle soup and Boston Market rotisserie
chicken noodle soup. The story in the Quizno's
soup is the noodles. The chicken is not really the story. It's really noodle chicken soup. - [Link] I got some
spiral action happening. - The taste is great though. - In the Boston Market, it
is the rotisserie chicken. And you can tell that somebody
pulled this apart by hand. - That makes me feel a little bit weird. - [Link] It makes me
feel a little bit weird, but the quality of it, I mean,
that's big hunks of chicken. - The taste profile is
not even close in my mind. This is like- - There's not enough salt. - It's not salty enough. It's not yellow enough. I want it to be yellow. - This just tastes so much better. - This is a solid...
Man, this is so solid. - Plus Boston Market opened nine locations in Sydney, Australia in 2002. - All right, well, you've convinced me- - Oh, and then shut them all down in 2004. Yeah, so they get the pity vote. Boston Market, see you ladle. See, I gotta go more- - Gotta go more towards the ladle. That was further away,
but it doesn't matter. Quizno's chicken noodle soup is moving on. (boxing bell chiming) - It all comes down to this. The eighth seed, Steak
'n Shake genuine chili, versus the sixth seed,
Quizno's chicken noodle soup. We got a Cinderella story happening here with this chili, huh? Lowest seed. - And I wanted to make fun of the fact that they used the term genuine, but now I understand what they meant. They meant that if you
were just on a road trip and you saw a sign for a chili cook-off and you follow the signs, and then you ended up at a chili cook-off and you had chili like this, you'd be like, "This totally tracks. "This makes sense. "It's genuine." - I didn't think I love Steak 'n Shake, but now I gotta reassess their
whole menu based on this. You know, I could just be
wrong across the board. - But again, this is as good
as chicken noodle soup gets. - That's a bold statement. The best chicken noodle soup
on earth is at Quizno's? I mean, it is good. - I mean, I think so. But tomorrow, am I gonna be talking about that chicken noodle soup? Or am I gonna be talking about this chili? - You're gonna be talking
about that chili, and so am I. - I am. - I got one more shot to get this puppy into the see you ladle ladle. - You're gonna do it. I believe in you. - All right, Quizno's. You put up a good fight,
buddy, but see you ladle. - Why don't you aim two feet to where you think you need to be aiming? - You put up a good fight. See you ladle. - Even when you leaned back, you threw it in exactly the same spot. - All right, Quizno's. You put up a good fight, buddy- - Let me do this, let me do this. - But see you ladle. Hold my hand, hold my hand. - You want to be over there. That's where it is, over there. Now come on and release. (all laughing) You know what? We'll work on it later. All I know is that Steak
'n Shake genuine chili is the... Whoop, whoop,
whoop, whoop, whoop- - Hello? - Best soup that you can
get at a fast food place. - Congratulations, Shake 'n Steak. - We mispronounced it. It doesn't matter. You know who we're talking about. Subscribing, clicking that bell, thanks. - You know what time it is. - I'm Shy. - And I'm Edan. - And we're from (foreign), Israel. - And we just made nine bean soup. - [Both] And it's time to
spin the Wheel of Mythicality. - Oh, man. You know the only thing
better than nine bean soup? - 10 bean soup? - Yeah. Click the top link to watch us get quizzed on ridiculous soup trivia
in "Good Mythical More". - And to find out where the Wheel of

The best soup is a bowl of chili?
The Republic of Soups will not stand for this injustice.
I can't believe they didn't include panera's broccoli cheddar soup.
I don't think Chili is a soup its a stew, so shouldn't have been in here in the first place. Perhaps an idea for is a hot dog a sandwhich: Is chili a soup or stew.
Kinda makes sense all the lower seeds won. The top seeds are all from popular fast food places, which typically have lower quality.
What happens when they've tasted and compared every possible fast food item?
That look Rhett gave Link when Link said, “Subscribe, clicking that bell, thanks.” 😆
Ok, serious question: am I INSANE? I didn’t know any of these places had soup except Wendy’s and Panera! I feel like I’ve been deprived all my life! Maybe I did know about Boston Chicken because I’ve definitely eaten there quite a lot? I don’t remember it, though. The only fast food soup I used to get regularly was the Chicken Noodle Soup from Chick-Fil-A but I haven’t been there in forever.
Found this episode quite boring tbh, probably because none of these places have soups in Australia (that I know of).
Anyone know what shirt link is wearing!?!
