Soup is really popular where I work. Sometimes I look in the shared refrigerator and see a bunch of microwavable soups all in a row with name labels. It's kind of funny, in a way. So the question that I've been kicking around lately is whether or not soup can be part of the perfect lunchtime meal.
In many ways, I think this question revolves around what time of year it is. For example, if we're in the middle of the summer it is plausible that people might not really want to ingest something warm when it's already warm and muggy outside. The reverse is true in the winter months. If it's especially cold outside, it can really be convenient to have a nice warm bowl of soup for lunch.
My experience with soup has varied over the years. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to like soup regardless of the time of year. This is no doubt in part due to the fact that a lot of us really believe that soup represents a reasonably healthy alternative to some of the more popular lunchtime items like pizza and burgers.
Take a look around your workplace. Do you see people eating soup? The more you look, the more you'll notice that soups of all kinds of different varieties are around. An astonishing number of choices exist, it's just a matter of deciding to include soup as part of our lunch menu. Can soup really be the perfect lunchtime meal? By itself, probably not. But in combination with a few other things, sure!
