In that case, how do you feel about tomato soup?
I’d never say that tomato soup is one of my favorites; it’s usually pretty boring. However, I once judged a soup contest, and this Filipino woman made a soup called sop tomat jawa, which was a spicy tomato soup with sausage in it. I named it the best soup of the competition.
What about French onion?
I like French onion! That’s a great soup. I don’t have a recipe myself, but whenever I see it on a menu, I get it.
How about mulligatawny?
That’s the one people remember the most from Seinfeld, so I had to learn how to make it. Fortunately, I love it. It’s sweet and savory. My version has golden raisins, Granny Smith apples, curry, chicken and turnips. It’s really, really good.
What’s better with soup — bread or crackers?
Crackers. On the other hand, I went to theater school in San Francisco one summer and fell madly in love with the clam chowder they’d serve in a bread bowl on the Fisherman’s Wharf. So I generally prefer crackers, but when it comes to sourdough bread bowls, it’s definitely bread.
Lastly, please settle this online debate: Is cereal soup?
Is cereal soup? I’ve never heard that before. I guess, in a way, it is — it’s like cold milk soup. I’ll say “yes” cereal is soup.
