Let’s be honest—soup has a PR problem. It’s seen as the thing you eat when you're sick, sad, or can’t be bothered chewing. But darling, soup is not the backup dancer of the food world. It’s the main event. And it’s time we give it the red-carpet treatment it deserves.

🥣 Here’s why soup is actually That Girl:

1. Soup Is Basically a Warm Hug in a Bowl Had a long day? Life crumbling around you? Soup doesn’t ask questions. It just shows up—hot, healing, and ready to hold you like a needy Labrador.

2. It’s the Easiest Way to Sneak in Veggies Like a Culinary Ninja Soup lets you hide 3 zucchinis, half a cauliflower, and a dodgy carrot behind a swirl of coconut cream and bam—your body thanks you. Even picky toddlers don’t stand a chance.

3. It’s Cheap. Like, Really Cheap. Got $5, a wilted onion, and a dream? Boom. Dinner. Show me another meal that makes 6 servings out of literal leftovers and still tastes like you tried.

4. It’s High-Performance Food with Zero Arrogance Protein? Check. Fibre? Check. Anti-inflammatory powers? Oh she’s that girl. And she doesn’t even brag about it on Instagram.

5. You Can Eat It in Pyjamas With a Blanket Cape and No One Will Judge You Soups were made for couch dinners. No cutlery coordination. No sides. No expectations. Just you, a spoon, and a bowl full of joy.

So Why Isn't Soup Trending?

Because it’s too wholesome for TikTok, too low-maintenance for Michelin stars, and too reliable for the chaos of modern cuisine. But here at Set The Table, we’re starting a Soup Renaissance—and you’re invited.

We're here to solve that problem!
