Celebrate National Soup Month and National Baking Month at Delightful Pastries

January is National Soup and National Baking Month. One might not think of going to a bakery for homemade soup, but Delightful Pastries at the Chicago French Market offers a complete menu of both sweet and savory goodies. Warm up with a selection of delicious homemade soups. Stop by for a complimentary tasting of its two gluten free offerings: Butternut Squash Soup with purely of roasted butternut squash and chicken broth or Split Pea Soup with pea, potato, carrot and bacon. Other soups include homemade Clam Chowder with clams, potato, bacon and cream, Chicken Noodle, and Beef Mushroom Barley Soup with beef, barley, carrot, onion and mushroom. All soups this month are only $3.50 a cup. Soups choices rotate daily. 


One of the reasons you may choose to buy from a bakery rather than purchase packaged baked goods is that you want to believe that the ingredients are pure. You can be sure at Delightful Pastries as it has built its reputation on fresh, made-from-scratch cooking using family recipes without preservatives or other fillers. "We believe that every customer deserves the best quality food just like we make them at home." said partner Robert Hawryszczuk. Delightful Pastries is highlighting several of its baked goods this month. Start the year off sweetly with yummy cream puffs -- January 2 is National Cream Puff Day. Other January specials at Delightful Pastries include pistachio and other shortbread specials on January 6 for National Shortbread Day and mini and full pie specials (apple, pecan and more) for National Pie Day on January 23, Chocolate Cake on January 27, National Chocolate Cake Day and buttery croissants on National Croissant Day, January 30. 

Delightful Pastries is located at the Chicago French Market, 131 N. Clinton St., Chicago; 312-234-9644.
