Hot soup in hot weather: yea or nay?

[mmntech]

My mom loves hot soup. Loves it. She's one of these people who could happily eat it for lunch every single day. Weather it's the dead of winter or a blistering hot summer day. She claims that eating hot soup in hot weather cools you down because it makes you sweat, or something to that effect. It just makes me feel yukky; too hot inside and out. I pretty much put away the winter comfort foods come summer and get my BBQ on. She thinks it's weird I feel this way about soups and stews come the hot weather.

What's ATOT's consensus on this issue. Do you enjoy piping hot soups and stews in the summer?

 

[lxskllr]

Nay. I'll have some occasionally, but it isn't right imo. Something like a gumbo can be good in summer, but broccoli cheese, never.

If I'm inside if I'm in the mood for soup, I won't care about the season.

 

[Matthiasa]

Well you could have a cold soup with a lot of chilies, so it both cools you down and makes you sweat a ton.

 

[Corporate Thug]

Never.

 

[mcurphy]

I don't like soups so much during the summer, but I will occasionally have a bowl.

Not a problem, it's not like hot soup is a picnic food and you're eating it outdoors on a 90* day. You can have hot soup at normal room temps indoors in the summer just like you can have ice cream at normal room temps indoors in the winter.

I do.. was disappointed Mickey D's got rid of soup in the warmer months.

Soup is great any time. I put out four different kinds every day at my place. It's one of those things where no one says to themselves, I think I'll go to <insert restaurant here> and order some soup. But, if it's marketed to each person when they come in, most will go for it.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Yes. It's a pretty Korean thing to do. On the "hottest" of the summer, culturally, we make the hottest, spiciest stew we have and eat it with a few beers.

Tastes great

 

[Azraele]

Generally, no, but if it's a rainy gloomy day then I might.

Hot coffee all day....soup is food......yep, but I'd rather have pie.

 

[HeXen]

heck, i'll eat chilli on a hot day.

 

[zinfamous]

Pho is like, the greatest food ever (well the Bun Bo Hue, is), and comes from one of the hottest, muggiest places anywhere.


so yeah--why not?

 

[highland145]

What's up, Zin?

 

[HardcoreRobot]

sure, hot tea too

wonders of climate control!

 

[eplebnista]

yea, soup is great any time of the year.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I do like pie, but I'll also have a bowl of hot soup in the middle of summer. I'll also keep drinking hot coffee and tea as well. Not to mention eating curry, Szechuan beef or chicken, and other spicy food.

 

[Baked]

Everyday! I love soup.

 

[FoBoT]

[evident]

I have pho on hot days all the time. Chilli too. Its amazing

 

[n7]

Nope.

Soup is perfect for rainy days, cold days.

Not warm days.

 

[thejunglegod]

I love soup and i have it whenever i can. I dont care whether it is hot or not.

 

[Rumpltzer]

Is that rain?

 

[Sentrosi2121]

Shit. These kinds of polls always screw me up.
Initially I say No. Having hot soup on a hot day is not what I like.
But then I see 'I like pie' as a selection. Which caused me to think about what to vote for.

In one case, I need to address the issue at hand, if I have hot soup when the weather is hot out. But then I'm confronted with another choice I should make and announce to the world that I like pie.

In the end I just went with No. But I wrote on my ballot that I like pie.
