My annual mini-rant against chilled soups

For the uninitiated, the cafeteria where I work always has a choice of four soups. Come summertime, they always have one of the soups be a chilled cold soup. As you can tell from the title of this all-too-rare post, I am not a fan.

I don’t understand this at all. This building is pretty much air-conditioned within an inch of our lives, so there’s no need to cool down the soups. It’s hard for a cup of soup to make you sweat when it’s colder in here than the Late Show theater. So what’s the point of chilling the tomato soup?

I got a different name for cold soups: dipping sauce. Would you consume cocktail sauce or ranch dressing straight up? Of course not! Even if you’re outside on a hot day, why would you want soup? You’d get ice cream if you wanted something with a similar consistency, no? This just makes no damn sense.
