SOUP!!!
It’s fall! Which means it’s time for soup. Hot soup in sourdough breadbowls. Mmm…makes me wants to slurp just thinking about it. Here’s how it works: Picture me in the couch wrapped in my Snuggie, watching 28 Days eating soup!!
By the way, that’s 28 Days starring Sandra Bullock, a can-do story about an alcoholic who learns to not be an alcoholic through friends and joy, NOT that scary zombie people murder movie, 28 Days Later. That’s certainly not a soup movie. You don’t want to be slurping when there are guts on the TV, things get too real. 28 Days Later is more of a popcorn mixed with Whoppers. But it is CERTAINLY not a Soup Movie like 28 Days.
Here are some other good Soup Movies: Miss Congeniality, Hope Floats, Two if by Sea, Forces of Nature Practical Habit, The Proposal, Two Weeks Notice, Demolition Man, The Net and Speed 2: Cruise Control. While You Were Sleeping, A Time to Kill, Gun Shy, Speed, Miss Congeniality 2. Also, Love Potion Number 9, The Vanishing, Crash, Murder by Numbers, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Lover Boy, The Lake House, Infamous, Premonition, All About Steve and the Blind Side, And In Love and War, I think. Pretty much all of Sandra Bullock’s movies are good Soup Movies. But which soup for which movie?? Ask and you shall receive!

Found a particular soup that works for a different movie? I’d love to hear you state your case. But be careful, I’ve been working on this list for almost eight years now. I’ve been through a LOT of trial and error and I know my stuff when it comes to Soup Movies!
Have a great fall everybody!!!
