Hi,
In Highland Park, both close relatively early so call ahead to make sure your timing works with their hours:
Max's Delicatessen & Restaurant
191 Skokie Boulevard
Highland Park, IL 60035
847-831-0600
Full service restaurant with very large menu and several types of soup.
Once Upon A Bagel

(847) 433-1411
1888 1st St
Highland Park, IL 60035
Stand in line, order your food, then sit down and your food is brought to your table. I like their mish-mosh soup for the chicken and chopped vegetables mixed into the soup.
West of Highland Park in Deerfield who are both open later than the HP recommendations:
Max & Benny's Restaurant
461 Waukegan Rd
Northbrook, IL 60062
(847) 272-9490
Another full service Jewish restaurant with great soup.
George's Whats Cooking?
350 South Waukegan Road
Deerfield, IL 60015
847-412-9360
Is a Greek owned family restaurant with a definite Jewish slant and great soup.
Regards,
