Night Soup is Red Tail Hawk's full-length album, released June 20, 2016: eight songs of soulful groove rock that open with "Swimming" and run through "All Love," "Big Wind," "Fruitbasket," "You And I," "Telephone," "Busted" and "River," 35 minutes that move from funk grooves to slow-burn soul. The album turns 10 in 2026.

Pitch Perfect scored it 3.9 out of 5, calling the record "structurally sound" with "a little something for everyone" and singling out "All Love" as an "irresistibly dance-y club hit." Seacoast Online interviewed Ben Zanfagna about the album ahead of the release show at The Stone Church on June 17, 2016.
