Any soup is cool enough to eat on a first date. If your date gives you crap about something as inconsequential as what kind of soup you’re eating, your date should be discarded at your earliest convenience, because they have shown themselves to be an opinionated twat that will bitch about things that don’t matter in the slightest.
+1 to this. if they’re giving you shit about what type of soup you eat the rest of the relationship is not gonna be very pleasant either
And since you ordered the soup, they likely have poor taste in soup
Phō. I have never had a bad date while enjoying a bowl at a Vietnamese restaurant.
And if the date is dull, at least you’ve enjoyed an excellent soup.
Traditionally served in the morning tho - do you do morning dates ?
Bro I’m one for culture but Pho’s so delish idgaf when or where I’m having it, that’s a great date for anyone with 3 connecting neurons
She’s only got two … should I still go with the Pho? or maybe some dishwater instead?
It might be a morning dish traditionally but it’s eaten at any time of the day in my part of the US at least (Midwest)
And if you’re in Portland, you can always pick Pho Kim to get the sexy juices flowing.
I have a simple soup rule: if they judge you poorly for you or soup, judge them poorly as a person.
If you are worried about ordering the “wrong” soup, you aren’t mature enough to be dating yet. Discover yourself, then you can show show yourself to another person. Otherwise you are just wearing a mask.
Gazpacho is chilled; if that isn’t cool enough I’ll eat my sombrero.

Yeah but if you’re expecting an ice-cold gazpacho soup and it’s room temperature, you could burn yourself!
No soup. Too dangerous to eat with a long beard, for a first date. Risk making a fool of myself
If my date had a long beard with soup in it, I’d think that she wasn’t the one for me
Don’t be a soup hater, enjoy a flavor saver.
Ask for scalding hot dishwater to show that you’re hardcore. A bowl of hot sauce is also acceptable. /s
Gazpacho
Seconding the pho, I would even say a hot pot restaurant since you guys can make your own soups which can take some of the pressure off the conversation since you’re actively cooking and the experience will be memorable. 🤩✨
This is actually a good idea
My first date go-to is my mom’s famous 13 bean soup
I can’t even name that many beans. Would you share the list of beans?
- Kidney bean
- Fava bean
- Brown bean
- Jumping bean
- Edemame bean
- Soybean
- Garbanzo bean
- Pinto bean
- Green bean
- Cocoa bean
- Vanilla bean
- Mr. Bean
- Howu bean
You forgot the coffee bean
Coffee beans killed my pappy
What just because they’re brown? I’m calling the cops so they can shoot your puppy and the coffee beans
- Edamame bean
- Soybean
Oh great, it’s the bean police
Oh, great! It’s the bean police!
Do you have the soup at your mom’s?
Only if my date wants to see my 40k collection
And if she doesn’t, she doesn’t deserve you anyway.
Just as long as they’re not going to be around me for the beanie consequences to come to fruition, if you catch my drift.
Consomme for the first date.
Double Consomme if you really care about him.
Triple Consomme if he is taken by the King to another duchy, and you don’t expect to see him for a long time.Shared bowl of all you can eat soup from Italian garden. I am not clarifying.
Gazpacho
I will wonder, forever, if this is meant to be the good soup or the bad soup.
(Don’t tell me.)
It’s the cool soup
prefer Salmorejo myself
The answer to both questions is “ball soup”, but the pleasure varies between who’s giving and who’s receiving.
Childish jokes aside; pea and ham is a good soup for any occasion.
I think that a communal dish is the way to go. Those mussels in broth that you eat and dip bread in the liquid are great- something to do with your hands, one big bowl, and small bites so no cutting and long chewing.
Are you making the soup or eating out? If you are making it - sopa de tomate y frijoles is so much better than it should be, you just take an onion, few dried peppers (Ancho are good) can of pinto beans, can of tomatoes, broth of whatever variety. Soak peppers, blend everything including the raw onion, season, cook by simmering on the stove. Tastes even better if you then refrigerate and reheat it the next day. Toppings - crumbly cheese, tortilla chips, pumpkin seeds, sliced scallion greens, pickled jalapenos.
Here I was, asking myself what could be worse than having soup on a first date, and there you come with a brilliant answer: communal mussels
I love them!
Salad is the worst date food. I love salad but it’s awkward to eat.
