Was I in for a surprise...
Yes, there were delicious, hearty, flavorful soups, but there were also salads, pastas, desserts, and more!
Ever since that first visit I always loved going to Souplantation!
The very first Souplantation brought delicious, healthy dining to San Diego in March 1978. Industry experts credit us as being the first casual eatery brand to serve fresh, wholesome menu options.
In 1983, Garden Fresh Restaurant Corp. was founded by Michael Mack through the acquisition of the first two Souplantation restaurants. As we continued to grow, we began to pursue growth beyond our core Southern California markets. In order to enhance our brand and reflect our dedication to fresh, wholesome ingredients, we adopted the name Sweet Tomatoes for new restaurants outside Southern California.
With 110 company-owned restaurants in 15 states, 265 million guests since 1978 have helped us to be #1 in fresh produce and salads, made-from-scratch soups, hot-tossed pastas, freshly baked breads and muffins, fresh fruit, frozen yogurt, and more.
We pride ourselves on offering an all-you-care-to-eat dining experience where each of our guests can create a meal tailored to their needs. Of course, you can count on fresh, high-quality ingredients and daily made-from-scratch menu items.
On October 1, Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes restaurants announced the crEATe Recipe Contest (http://www.souplantation.com/create/) . Throughout the month of October, guests can submit their recipes for mouth-watering combinations made entirely from Souplantation or Sweet Tomatoes menu items through the Web site, Facebook page, or by e-mail. Ten finalists will be chosen in November and all guests will be invited to vote for their favorite finalist in December. The winning recipe and chef will be announced in January and will win a year’s worth of free passes and the chance to be featured in an upcoming ad.
For more information and official rules, visit Souplantation.com.
I checked out some of the creations and they look so delicious! You’ll even get a discount coupon for entering!
They also have a great promotion coming up on October 18: On October 18, children can roll out of bed, watch cartoons and head straight to Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes restaurants across the nation for the 3rd annual pajama-rama. In celebration of National Pajama Month, Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes restaurants are offering children 12-years-old and younger a free breakfast from 9 a.m. until noon on Sunday, October 18th with the purchase of an adult meal.

I love Sweet Tomatoes! What I love about the place is that they list the ingredients of each dish. I'm vegan and know that a lot of places have hidden animal products in their foods. At Sweet Tomatoes ... I always know what I'm getting. Oh ... and they offer a lot of options for vegans/vegetarians! Brilliant!
Thanks for hosting a giveaway!

I love the fact that Sweet Tomato has fresh ingredients and it is quick easy and delicious.
I really love how they offer such a wide variety of food and keep with the healthy and fresh theme! It is indulgent but so healthy too! I particularly think the Pesto Pasta, Roasted Eggplant Marinara and Spice Pumpkin Muffin with Cranberries sound delicious!
Thank you for the giveaway :)

Souplantation is one of my favorite things about living in SoCal. I have two near me: Beverly Hills and Pasadena. There are so many "favorite" features to recommend: the freshness of the food, the wholesomeness and healthfulness, the variety, and the super-generous portions (how can you beat "unlimited"?). Maybe they should call themselves "Saladplantation" or "Muffinplantation" or "Yogurtplantation" or .......

I love that I can eat all I want of salads. They have everything chopped up and displayed nicely. Saladas can be a lot of work to do at home, especially when only one or two eat "greens".
