If you are a partaker of tomato soup, do you eat it out of a bowl, with a spoon, or drink it out of a coffee cup?

I love tomato soup, especially with tuna fish sandwiches. I put basil in mine and most often drink it out of a large coffee cup.

I eat tomato soup out of a bowl. I typically have broth from a cup, though.

I pour it all over me and let it be absorbed by my skin.

I LOVE Tomato soup and have this special soup bowl I always use. It is a deep tureen type soup bowl with handles on the sides. I always put a spoon in the bowl but mostly drink it. Mmmm good!

Espiritus_Corvus's avatar

^^ Yeah, I’d like one of those.

Bowl and soupspoon.

There’s nothing better than tomato soup on a chilly day. If you’d like to spoil yourself, try making your own rather than opening a can of that salty stuff.

Bowl with the mini crackers. Awesome.

Spoon & bowl. When I was a kid, we’d cook up a can using milk instead of water & sometimes toss in sliced up hot dogs or rice. Curious, but I bet I haven’t had a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup in over 30 years. Gotta do something about that just to see if it’s as good as I remember.

I use a bowl and a big spoon like This.

Cream of tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches which are dipped in the soup. Near the end of the sandwich soup is gone. Yum!

Fun question. I’ve loved tomato soup (especially with a grilled cheese sandwich) since I was a tad. Nowadays I mostly drink it out of those little Campbell’s microwaveable cans.

Most other soups I tend to eat-drink out of tall mugs.

We have two sets of soup mugs. Something like this one.

It’s good cold weather food. Unfortunately I so rarely have cold weather that I haven’t gone out of my way to have tomato soup in some years.

I used to eat it out of a bowl, with saltine crackers.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Historically I have always used a bowl. I’d put one saltine at a time in the bowl, carefully break it into quarters with my spoon, then take four bites of soup, each with ¼th of a cracker on the spoon. If I put more than one cracker in they’d get soggy.

Oh, me and my pickyness! When I eat pancakes I tip the plate away so the syrup collects at the back of the plate so they syrup doesn’t soak into the pancakes and make them all soggy and mushy.

I’m with you, @Dutchess. Hate soggy food.

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s why I like real waffles. When you whip the egg whites as part of the recipe it gives them a nice, firm crust that takes a long time for the syrup to get through.

I eat/slurp/drink it from a colander using a fork, I like a challenge.

When I was a kid, Mom always had a big sleeve of tomato cup-a-soup for us with the old Hot Shot water boiler thing. I found it in the basement recently and it still works. This was before the invention of Microwave. I still love tomato soup of all kinds, Tomato Bisque is my new favorite. Usually accompanied with grilled cheese (velveeta cheese) which I will just plunk into the bowl by the half and eat with my spoon. Then drink the remainder. I’ve not had cup-a-soup for a long time. Lots of sodium, but I don’t care.

stanleybmanly's avatar

Our solution for soggy pancakes or waffles is individual ramekins of syrup in which you can dip your cakes by the forkful. You can melt butter in with the warm syrup, but it usually winds up floating on top.

si3tech's avatar

@stanleybmanly That is precisely what I do with pancakes, waffles. I don’t have a solution for cereal flakes. Hate soggy. Also when dipping grilled cheese sandwich in cream of tomato soup
the sandwich is still crunchy! (quick dip).

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yeah, it took me 50 years to figure out to use a small bowl instead. It’s just a quirk I develeoped as a very small child. That’s the way I ate my pancakes.

@si3tech, well, keep the box with you. After a couple of spoonfuls of cereal add a couple more spoon fulls from the box.

I am tasting my first tomato Cup-a-Soup in many many years. It doesn’t seem to taste as good a it did when we came in half frozen from playing in the snow, but it has a recognizable tomato flavor. It will be good to keep in the emergency pantry.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I don’t know about you but when I was a kid I was always HUNGRY when it was time to eat. We played hard and there was no such thing as “snacks.”

ibstubro's avatar

I always use a bowl and a spoon.
I like to start out with my soup scalding hot and I’m impatient. If I try a cup, I burn my lips just checking if it’s safe to drink.

Sorta like ordering pizza at the restaurant and trying to eat it by the slice. I know I’m going to burn my mouth, so I opt for a fork.
