Best Soup Bracket Interest Thread

Seems kind of pointless. The top 2 are obv going to be French onion, and Pho. The rest don’t really matter, do they? My personal fav is Manhattan clam, but no way that wins.

Did someone say Fagioli? And did they say it without giggling?

Because this lets us calmly stand up and call the whole Pho phenomena out for it was it is, foot soup bullshit foisted by hipsters!

lol @ the perfect food being “foot soup bullshit foisted by hipsters”. I didn’t think you were a gimmick account.

I’ll mention Goulash, but I doubt I’d ever vote for it.

Not a gimmick account, just an honest poster who had the misfortune of going to a Pho shop for lunch one day and it RUINED MY LIFE! “Oh, you don’t like cilantro it is because of your genes not because you have horrible taste!” At least with cilantro there is cover, people don’t think you’re weird just that you aren’t in touch with your body enough to KNOW WHAT THE FUCK SOAP TASTES LIKE instead of trying to comprehend some may have better taste than they do. Pho hit like wildfire and is everywhere and I have to be the turd in the pool that wants to go to Italian instead because Pho TASTES LIKE FOOT SOUP! I wouldn’t wish this on a Trump supporter.

If it is made in a casserole I don’t think it should count as soup.

Maybe I’m being too ultra-nationalist for this poll?

My vote is no goulash is not a soup. If you can eat it and off a plate with a fork it has a lot of explaining to qualify.

Lasagna Soup is absolutely goated and if you haven’t tried it, I’ll link a recipe. There are other similar recipes and my mom doesn’t use lasagna noodles, which I think is the right call. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. I don’t give a shit what wins this competition but this was a great reminder to post about lasagna soup. Try some and thank me later.

I’m talking about Hungarian goulash. Not that bastardized American shit.

Can you eat this off a plate with a fork?

+1 for (Hungarian) goulash. Definitely a soup (and a tasty one!) Agree that what I have often heard called goulash in the US is too thick and noodle-based to count.

If it’s eaten with a spoon, and only a spoon, I’ll count it as a soup for this competition.

So I’m thinking no to ramen, since you use more than a spoon. Hungarian goulash is soupy enough. No to stew. If it’s runny enough for a spoon, it’s vegetable beef soup. I’ve only ever eaten chili with a spoon, so it’s in.

This soup is gonna be tough to beat:

I can’t ban people from this thread, but posters being pedantic will not have their votes counted…
