About eighteen months ago, my dear friend and collaborator Olive mentioned a want of soup in the middle of the night. We then had a riveting conversation about the virtues of the world’s soups and decided: Hey! Why not rank them all for The Niche, where we can make our voices heard re:soup? But the controversy was too great, and the google doc too universally illegible, and so it was swept aside.

Though the Soup Conversation was ahead of its time, its document of origin was recently unearthed. We were forced to ask ourselves: do we risk being misunderstood by the populace in order to spread the good word of soup, or do we guard our opinions like a rare pearl? Do we incite soup controversy for the betterment of the community’s debate on soups, or do we leave the dust to settle into the fractures in the pavement of the soup road to one day be paved over by salad connoisseurs? With the Soup Renaissance upon us, Olive and I have decided to leak it.
