What’s Your Soup Personality?

You’ve heard it a million times: you are what you eat. But what exactly does that mean? According to a study by Brian Wansink of the University of Illinois, it means that the kind of soup you prefer can determine quite a few things about your personality.

When 602 women and 401 men were surveyed by telephone, here’s what Wansink and his researchers found:


The four most popular soups are chicken noodle, tomato, minestrone, and vegetable.

Chicken noodle soup lovers score high on the church-going scale, are fond of pets, are more likely to be stubborn, and less likely to be outdoorsy.

Minestrone slurpers are more likely to be physically fit, nutritionally conscious, family spirited, and on a restricted diet. They are also less likely to own a pet.

Vegetable soup aficionados are homebodies at heart, less likely to be world travelers, less likely to be spontaneous, and more likely to read family and home magazines.

Tomato soup sippers can stomach more adventure, are more likely to be social, and tend to enjoy books and pets.

Two-thirds of those surveyed agreed that soup made them feel better about themselves, and more than half said chicken noodle soup made them feel better when sick.

Mother's be warned - whenever Casanova Isaac is around keep your daughter's locked up or they may get kissed.  His favorite target is Jane Duru.

Orphan Gamer

It is plain to see Isaac is not into fashion.  His Grandma bought him some Sesame Street socks and he wanted one of each on over his pj's.  He is enjoying paying Play Station with his dad.  His controller is hooked up but he doesn't care.

Winter Freeze

We have quite a spell of below freezing dry weather.  For January we are at less than ten per cent of our normal precipitation.  For the last two to three weks the temp has remained about freezing or below.  Times like this it sucks to work outside.  It is quite pretty though when the fog puts a frosty coating on everything.
