TJ's Pub's Pub Prime Soup

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Aug. 31, 2024

TJ’s Pub is tucked downstairs at the Ramsdell Inn, built circa 1891, and while you might go for the Victorian vibes, you’ll stay for the locally infamous and made from scratch daily Pub Prime soup. This stick-to-your-ribs recipe is inspired by classic pub fare of old and incorporates a rich beef broth cooked down with roasted red and green bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and house-shaved prime rib. Finished with plenty of garlic, black pepper, and a bouquet of Italian spices, it’s the perfect fortifying bite to usher in the first days of fall. All that’s missing is a frothy pint (psst—there’s usually a local stout on tap!) and a seat by the crackling fireplace. Tuck into a bowl ($5.50, or $4.50 for a cup) at TJ’s Pub in Manistee at 399 River Street. ramsdellinn.net
