re: Why don't we eat soup for breakfast?

I don't eat soup for any meal. I've never said "man, i really could use some good soup".

My great grandfather reportedly used to say:”soup is for sick people” and would never eat it.

He lived to just short of 101 and when he was in his mid 80’s he and my grandfather walked the 2.5 miles to town to get his last tooth pulled then walked the whole way home, in mid July. Grandad said he tried to joke about finally eating soup on the walk back but great grandfather was having no part in it. Said he ate fried round steak that night and had no false teeth at all.

Soups are not a breakfast thing for reasons.

I had mei ayam (pronounced me I am) every morning for breakfast in Indonesia and really miss it.

My dad always said, "You kids better eat all of it, or we will have it for breakfast tomorrow."

We never did.

Do you know there is a butt floating on top of your soup?

I would probably scarf down a bowl of egg drop soup with crumbled bacon or sausage, cheese, avocado and maybe a biscuit to dip or crumble.

That gives me an idea….

I'm wondering if creamy grits with white sausage gravy and bits of fried and scrambled egg and bacon in it would count count as a breakfast soup.

If people around the world eat soup for breakfast why can't we?

When I was in high school, I went with a priest weekly to serve Mass at a “home for wayward girls”. The nuns served us a big breakfast after. The first time I went, the first course was a steaming hot bowl of split pea soup. I don’t think I had ever even seen SPS before, and it didn’t look like something I wanted to eat. So as not to be impolite, I decided to “offer it up”, and ate it anyway.

I acquired quite a taste for SPS; and now, all these long years later, I eat it regularly.

By the way, remembering back, that was the most popular I have ever been with girls (or later, women), since they rarely got to interact with boys their own age there.

I could imagine a nice potato soup garnished with bacon and cheese would be nice in the morning.

Any time I get a ham bone I make split pea soup. And the day after, when it's acquired that sufficient pease porridge consistency...delectable

Gumbo or stews are just a variation of soups

Gumbo is a soup, yes. but a stew is a stew, bisque is a bisque. chowder is chowder.

if you try to lump them all as soups? i guess you can but thats just like lumping soup in with sandwiches because its just "food" right?
