A Good Bowl of Soup

This is the time of the year when I really enjoy a good bowl of soup. What I will do often for lunch is go over to one of the restaurants that does a good soup and get a bowl of soup and a small dark roast coffee.

Now here's where it gets tricky.

Generally, you get a nice big piece of bread with your soup, and sometimes some butter for that bread. Butter that piece of bread up and break it in half.

Here's why.

Because when you can go over to where they have the milk and sugar for your coffee, there is usually some honey there as well. Put honey all over one of your chunks of bread. Now you've got desert too! And the honey will be all soaked in by the time you're ready to eat it. All for under $5. And you have your other piece of bread and butter to mop up some of whatever delicious soup you have selected.

Now, here is a little guide to some of the soup genres:
Bisque - The king of the soups.
Chowders - A close, and jealous 2nd to the bisque.
Stew - Arguably something different altogether - but really just an rowdy soup.
Miso - Salt! Salt! Need the Salt! Where's the Salt? Its salty good.
Cream - A lazy cousin of the Bisque. Only to be eaten in dire circumstance.
Minestrone - Jack of all trades, master of none.
Noodle - For when chewing your noodles is just too much.
