Hanoi Hannah Winter Soup Series 2023

Overview

It's the home stretch. Winter is almost over, which is a good thing depending on who you ask — but whether you love the cold or loathe it, there's no denying a hearty soup makes cold Melbourne nights so much more enjoyable (and bearable). So it's wonderful news that Hanoi Hannah's Winter Soup Series has kicked off for another year.

Running until Tuesday, 12 September, diners will be able to enjoy a rotating selection of six mouthwatering soups. Highlights include Banh Canh Cua — crab and tomato broth, banh canh noodles, soft shell crab and quail egg ($28), Hu Tieu Noodles — pork loin broth, tapioca noodles, prawns and fried shallots ($28), and Crispy Chicken With Dry Egg Noodles — master stock crispy chicken, sweet soy egg noodle, garlic chives and choi sum ($26).

That's not where the good times end though. If you fancy yourself something of a soup whisperer, Hanoi Hannah is inviting diners to jump onto its website to submit their very own soup recipe.

But you won't be sharing your genius for free, as the winning entry will appear on the official menu — not a bad addition to any resume. It's not just bragging rights on offer either, with the winner also scoring a $1000 voucher to use at any Commune venue.
