It's cooling down in Ohio, so with lower temperatures and all the attendant features of fall — swirling leaves, gusting winds, and chilly precip — it's time for soup. Sure, you can take the time, buy the ingredients, and make your own, but why not get to know your new Beavercreek neighborhood by making the rounds at local restaurants and ordering soup?

Maybe you're getting ready to do some holiday decorating in the home you chose from Beavercreek homes for sale. Instead of tearing yourself away from your chores to cook, get out of the house and sample the local soup offerings, either takeout or dine in.

Here are some of the best soup venues close to you, as recommended by our REALTORS®.

1. Wat da Pho. 3464 Pentagon Blvd. D, Beavercreek, OH 45431
   Love that pho — which if you don't know, is that famous Vietnamese noodle and broth soup. But when you visit Wat da Pho, which one should you choose?  Try one of these: Seafood Hot Pot, with mussel, imitation crab, shrimp, squid, fishballs, cabbage, mushroom, in chicken broth; Pho Tai Bo Vien, with sliced steak and meatballs; Bun Ga, with vermicelli noodles, shredded chicken, in sate chicken broth; or Mien Ga, with mungbeans, clear noodles, and chicken in chicken broth.
   
   
2. Melt Bar and Grilled. 2733 Fairfield Cmns Unit C, Beavercreek, OH 45431
   You'll find tempting appetizers such as Wild Tofu Wings (especially for vegetarians) and Attack of the Green Tomatoes (fried green tomatoes) from Melt Bar and Grilled, but if you're there for soup, here are some recommendations: tangy Roasted Garlic Tomato; tasty and filling 4 Bean Vegan Chili; or dark and rich French onion.
   
   
3. Pho District. 4474 Glengarry Dr. Beavercreek, OH 45440
   Here's some more pho for you broth and noodle lovers, courtesy of Pho District.  First, enjoy traditional favorites such as Cha Gio Hai San (seafood egg roll) or Thit Nuong (grilled pork); but then move on to your stomach-warming soup of the day. Among the primary pho choices: Pho Ga (chicken); Pho Bo (beef tendon pho); Pho Doc Biet, or Pho District, with sliced steak, beef meatball, beef tendon, and well-done flank steak. Vegetarians should opt for Pho Dau Hu, or tofu pho.
   
   
4. Little Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant. 1718 Woodman Drive, Kettering, Ohio 45420
   At Little Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant, the only trouble you'll have with the soup menu is to narrow down your choice from the many offered. Go for traditional soups to supplement your other choices, such as Sup Chua Ga (sweet and sour chicken soup); Sup bap Cua (creamed corn and crab meat soup); or Sup Trung Ga (Chinese- style egg drop soup). Or, go for one of the meal-size soups, such as Chao Thap Cam, a combination rice soup; Bun Rieu, with crab meat, egg, tomato with vermicelli; or Banh Canh, with pork, shrimp and crab with thick clear noodles.
   
   
5. Maharaja of Dayton. 3464 Pentagon Blvd. Dayton, OH 45431
   You may not think of soup when you think of Indian food, but it's a big part of the national cuisine. Indians maintain that consuming warm liquids like tea or soup actually helps you feel cooler in a hot country. We can't try that out in Ohio right now, but we can try warming up with three of Maharaja's favorite soups: tomato, lentil, or chicken.
   
   
6. Cherry House Cafe. 1241 Meadow Bridge Dr. Beavercreek, OH 45434
   Have a cold sandwich with a bowl of Chicken Pot Pie soup, Chili, or Soup of the Day from Cherry House Cafe.
