Union of Genius is the story of a group of friends, in love with good products, who have set out to revolutionize soup by imagining original recipes! Out of more than 80 in their repertoire, six are offered every day with good bread. Three salads are usually also à la carte and the place is often stormed. Perfect for a short break between the university, the National Museum and Greyfriars Kirk.

Situating near Forrest hill road and McEwan hall, Union of genius welcomes students and passer-by to try its variety of soup. There are around 6 soups or more to choose from. Soup comes with two sizes and I go with the big one which I think you can be full.

I tried the chicken with white bean. It’s warm and and flavorful. The onion toast is quite novel for me but impressive as well
The free crouton also add other textures to soup as well.
For someone who doesn’t like veggies I think it’s quite good and healthy food even though white bean is too big for me (personally speaking)

Nothing is better than a warm soup during a rainy or chilly day.

Me encantó el ambiente, las sopas deliciosas así como el chocolate caliente y los bizcochos, personal superamable, me hubiera quedado más tiempo sentado disfrutando hablando con mi mujer pero el local estaba lleno y más gente quería comer sopa. Perfecto para comer algo calentito y rico cuando aquí hace frío. Súper recomendable.

What an amazing lunch spot! Affordable, delicious soups and chillies. We got there at around 2 and they only had 2 soups remaining, probably not what we would usually go for but they were delicious, warming and comforting. The bread was nice too. They also donate a lot to the community and you can sit inside or take away. Will be back when next time in Edinburgh.

A cosy little soup place, popular so you might struggle for a seat!

We had the golden chicken chilli and the peri peri chicken soup. Very tasty.

If you're nearby, give it a try!

We had a choice of lovely hearty soups and crispy croutons- this is my perfect lunch spot! Fast and friendly service and sound ethics too - providing soup for those in need. It was so good we went 2 days running! The flapjack was delicious too. Other options also sounded good...
