Soup......do you drink it or eat it??

Hartyk87

I had a major debate today of what people say down the south of ireland. So I have decided to ask the nation do you drink or eat soup?

It depends if it's lumpy or not. Soup is still a liquid...

copacetic

if with a spoon,
it's eating you're doin'
from a cup,
you're drinking a sup

Senna

Eat soup, simple.

Queen-Mise

I have no idea, depends if its lumpy or not

You chew water?

humbert

I would have said drink it. Even from a spoon

Valmont

I eat soup. Even the most watery of soups has bits you have to chew.

You need a new blender.
A strainer too.
Then you will find,
there is no need to chew.

We could have a whip round for a couple of cup-a-soups:D

Swallow if no lumps. Chew otherwise.

it's all about the chewage. i drink tea/coffee without a spoon. i eat soup with a spoon

You drink water. Everything else is food.

Yes but you dont eat things out of cups. In college they give you soup in a coffee cup, i know people who sip it out of the little hole in the plastic top. To me thats drinking it

aoibhebree

Pretty damn pointless without a poll ...

Personally, I eat my lunch/dinner, but would not consider "soup" to be lunch/dinner coz I don't "eat" it

Therefore, by default, I "drink" it.

I "eat" soup,with a spoon, from a bowl. A cup/mug is so common!

Eat soup. That's what I was always told, and that's what I do.

Thats not the point. I take the lid of and eat it with a spoon. But for those who dont, and sip it through the lid, i would consider that drinking.

I hope we are still talking about soup :D

You drink soup!!

If I can't drink it through a straw, it's food, not liquid.

Assumptions, the mother of all fcukups...

I asked if you chewed water.

Soup is drinkable, like you would with any other liquid. It may have more nutrition in it than most liquids but it is still a liquid. Some soups you will eat as there can be solids in it also. So it's not "simple as"...

yes I agree you have to eat seafood chowder but im talking about "in conversation" and what is the correct way to say it. Come English students out there!!

Senna

Its eat, would you use a straw to eat soup? but you could use a straw for anything you drink.
Cant believe how many people think the term is drink for soup. You may eat it out of a cup, you may not use a spoon and you may put it through a strainer but for all intensive purposes you eat soup.

"I am starving i would love a bowl of soup"

Does the hypothetical soup contain croutons?

Tech3

I suck soup

themadchef

Soup didint always come in packet. Of course you eat soup.

Like most of the big questions in life, its a grey area. Kind of like that fact that the "three phases of matter" you get taught about in science are not extremely distinct, rather they blend into each other. You see, you need to remember that the world as it is before us is not there for our ease of classification. The universe dosent care about boundries, only our evolved brain does.

You drink soup by the way

I slurp it, not sure which category that fits into :eek:

halfinch

Eat it from a bow, sup it from a cup.

phasers

drink the soup, eat it's contents (veg, croutons etc.)

You don't eat or drink soup - you slurp it...

conan doyle

I've checked with my friend the chef who told me without doubt you eat soup

Gummy Panda

Hmmm... drink or eat? Its clearly Atari Jaguar

Black Swan

Souper topic!

liah

Well, maybe I'm just weird but if I'm referring to soup in a colloquial manner insofar as I'm not talking about any kind of specific sort, then I would simply say "have soup" rather than eat or drink... leaves it open.

..although personally, I'm in the "eat" camp.

builttospill

I drink it with a fork. From a plate.
