to the question - “anyone?” - i shall step forth in response
Well coffee is a bean broth soup. So just go to a coffee tasting event. Bean heads called them “cupping events”.
Soup is a garbage tier food item. I really don’t see the appeal besides it being cheap, I can’t imagine going out of my way to seek out soup.
It is clear then that you have not experienced good soup before.
Yeah, Mika_mika’s comment sounds like a campbells soup comment.
My grandpa made some okay minestrone and pasta fajioulle but compared to the other dishes he made it seemed just okay. It was what he made when he was using the leftovers and remnants of all the rest of his amazing cooking. Soup is just poverty food.

And so is this, it’s just poverty food.
Soup is just poverty food.
That or they’re from a really hot place, though I absolutely fuck with a chilled borscht, cucumber soup, or gazpacho.
Chili cookoffs but soup.
Fuck me, I’m in!
I think that’s just a potluck.
In my city we have Souper Bowl. It’s an event where local restaurants make their soups and you vote on the best. It’s a pretty cool event.
my mom’s actually part of a soup club! they all bring soups and exchange them
Well that just sounds souper!
Jon Bon Jovi, where are you. Please respond
This unironically sounds awesome, I would go to this event.
Around February each year we have a SOUPer bowl potluck at work. People pitch in to bring in soups and stews and various breads. It’s fantastic. Someone last year brought a muffin tin from home to try all the different soups
Is this not just an ordinary potluck?
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
Sign me up, too. In my mind, it comes with unlimited baguette slices and/or garlic bread sticks as well as a bar with an assortment of dozens of shredded cheeses. Also there are various soup spoons available, including the deep asian ones.
Edit: Spelling, although chesses are welcome, too.
And whimsical crockery
Yes, ceramics galore, with gilded inlay and reliefs depicting the glory of historic soup bacchanalia of eons past.
lil café place near me does soup flights, you get like 5 lil cups of different soup and half a loaf of house baked bread.
Couple places in Seattle do this too, it rocks
eh? Which places, I need to know. Winter is coming on fast.
Pike place chowder has a chowder sampler and the other place I was thinking was Byrek and Baguette. Looking at BB’s menu though I’m not seeing one so maybe they don’t have it anymore? You can get a baguette and soup combo though
ty for taking the time to post that. I will check them out.
I missed reading the L. Soup fights sound messy.

My friend used to host an annual soup tasting/swap.
We used to have a place nearby named “Souper Salads” with an all you can eat lunch buffet. If I recall they had at least 4-5 different soups to try. Nothing unusual, just common, basic flavors, but still in a similar vein to your desire. I think they were a chain, but I suspect they went out of business.
There used to be a chain restaurant near my workplace called Zoup. We all loved it! We would look at the menu for the week on Monday and if one of our favorite soups came up, we would all go grab some soup and bread for lunch one day. You could also taste all the soups before getting one. It was the best! But it sadly died during COVID lockdowns. RIP Zoup.
Gotta hit that spit bucket withous swallowing.
