The gluten-free menu at Fresh 2 Order is pretty good considering they have no specialty items like bread, cupcakes, etc. The pork with apricot chutney with mashed sweet potatoes meal is excellent as is the club salad with grilled chicken added. For the last few years, I kept asking the corporate office if they were going to offer gluten-free soups and the answer was usually "we're looking into it". However, no gluten-free soups were available during my visits (I even asked about gluten-free options when it was way too hot for soup) so I finally gave up inquiring about it.
Skip to a few weeks ago when I thought to check the company's menu online and I still didn't see any soup listed on the gluten-free menu. After inquiring at the corporate office yet again, I was told they have a gluten-free soup and it launched back in the spring! I realized that due to moving twice last year, I had not been to Fresh 2 Order except for once in February (even though I'm 90% closer to a location now than I was before) in over a year. Hence, I had no idea that indeed, gluten-free lentil soup was introduced.
It's unclear why the soup is only on the "soups" website page and the gluten-free menu wasn't updated online (or in the store we go to) to list it. Soup is one of the hardest things to find when dining out so most people would not think to check the soup listings after not seeing soup listed on the gluten-free menu. In any case, the lentil soup is vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free (at the time of this posting). While it might be too hot in the ATL to order hot soup right now, it will be nice to have a tasty option when the weather turns cooler next month.
