Well, I think soup can be a meal, but it is a very individual thing...Which is probably why it was a good subject for the show. For soup to be a meal though at an expensive restaurant, I say it would have to be listed under the entree section, and not served with packaged crackers...perhaps with some yuppie bread, or stone ground, cracked wheat type crackers that were personally made by the chef's great grandmother in Bosnia or something...baked on a flat rock over an open fire sort of stuff...Otherwise it is definately not a meal... But that's just one schmucks opinion.
Oh and if that particular someone is reading this....well I just want you to know I miss writing you!
