Is there a soup that will convert “soup is not a meal” people into soup people?

[Anonymous]

Chicken noodle (usually a crowd pleaser)
Italian wedding soup (who doesn't love meatballs--except vegetarians)
Baked potato soup (I think it's too heavy--but it may be good for the meat and potatoes crowd, especially with bacon).
Broccolli cheddar soup (again, I think it's too heavy-but people do like it).

I personally like the clear soups like wonton soup, matzoh ball soup, minestrone.

Yeah, I don't get why people need to be convinced. I don't care for soup. I will eat certain soups that I prepare myself, just the way I like (I don't like them liquidy so they'll be more like marinated beans and vegetables). I am picturing someone trying to serve me all different kinds of soups until they convert me into a soup person, but why?

😆😵‍💫 sort of. Op here. I’m looking for soups that can be dinner. DH was raised that soup was out of the can and only to sip when you’re sick not a dinner meal of any type. It will also be an easy meal my teens can reheat without burning and make next year at college.

…If I can find the right, hearty soups!

Because the soup pushers are cheap and lazy

Do they like soup? Because it doesn't sound like you guys eat soup regularly, and you already have a college-bound teen so it's not like you're all new to each other ....
Lots of things can be reheated without burning, and honestly it's a rare teen who is going to make soup from scratch in their apartment. I think this is a misguided quest. Best of luck, though.

My kid made cheddar broccoli soup with 2 packets of cheddar broccoli, a whole family sized bag of broccoli, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, leeks, cauliflower, spinach, better than boullion, brewers yeast, milk, cheddar cheese, ground up hemp seed. It was fabulous. 8 huge cups of stew/soup. Just amazing. I was full.

I'm not anti-soup by any means but it is typically pretty mediocre and those self-serve containers of soup at WF and other high-end grocers gross me out. And for some reason a good bowl of French onion soup (which I love) at a restaurant is now $13 to 20 dollars! Might as well order real food at that point.

I think Panera has ruined soup's reputation. Those bagged soups that just get worse and worse over the years.

IME, people who say this tend to be carnivores, and expect a hearty dose of meat and carbs at each meal. They think "soup" means mostly broth with a few pieces of solid food floating in it. You need something thick and meaty to convince them that not all soups are like that.

Chili
Beef stew with potatoes and carrots, in a very thick gravy-like broth
Pork Verde stew with green chiles

Chicken noodle soup probably won't work, as it's broth-based and reminds everyone of being sick. Bean and lentil soups probably won't appease the meat-eaters unless you include a lot of bacon.

But soup and half a sandwich isn't a real meal Jerry.

NP. Did you crumble any crackers into it?

Chicken Tortilla Soup fits the bill.
I love adding cheese and tortilla strips and it's a very hearty soup with the shredded chicken.
