I agree. (none / 0)
Soup sucks.  It never makes me feel like I've eaten anything.

hit the nail (none / 0)

again. It only sounds appetizing when I'm sick and can't eat anything.

One exception: Vietnamese Pho. that shit sticks to your ribs and it tastes fuckin delicious.

I'm curious (none / 0)
I know Spencer is in CO, but do most people who dislike soup live in warmer climates?

If not, you're just crazy.  A good minnestrone, or chedder, potato and bacon soup with some fresh baked bread to dip?  Come on, it's fuckin' delicious.

Its not that I can't eat them, its just that, like Spencer said, I don't feel like I've eaten anything substantial. Many people, including my wife, find a nice bowl of soup perfectly acceptable for dinner.  Not me. Even you admit you have to eat it with bread.

I don't *have* to eat it with bread (none / 0)
It just goes from "good" to "fuckin' delicious" with bread. 

You're telling me you can eat a bowl of potato, bacon and cheddar soup and not feel as though you've eaten anything?

Besides, it's not like soup is the main course, it's generally an appetizer.  I don't sit down and eat a meal comprised of mozzarella sticks, but they sure do taste good as an appetizer.

yeah that's what I'm sayin (none / 0)

"Besides, it's not like soup is the main course, it's generally an appetizer."

"It just goes from 'good' to 'fuckin' delicious' with bread."--but its still not a meal.

I think you're vigorously agreeing with me.

Do eat breaded chicken dishes? (none / 0)
The worst is Chinese/Thai places that deliver you fried/breaded chicken dishes with the meat soaking up the sauce.

I HATE that.

A *good* restaurant will give you a separate container to ensure the chicken stays nice and cripsy, not gross and soggy.
