shareYes, those people exist and they're called sociopaths.
And when they do eat Chunky soup, they eat it with a fork.
Soup is a wonderful thing.
Add rootvegetables to it, and it would be unfortunate for me.
Add root vegetables to it, however, and it will be a delicious wintertime meal.

People do.
shareI am the KING of soup - at least everyone tells me so.
I make a great Lentil and sausage soup, French Onion, Beef vegetable (I use beef shank), and Pasta Faggioli. One of the things I do is to cook the pasta (typically Ditalini) separately from the soup. I toss the pasta with a bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking and serve it next to the pot of soup - guests can add the pasta if they want it (or not if they're carb watchers), plus the pasta doesn't get bloated and starchen (is that a word?) the soup after sitting 20 minutes.
When we have a campfire, I always make a huge pot of soup for those who come over and put the leftovers in freezer containers.
