Like the title says.
I’m a bit of mucus merchant anyway, but soup (when I have it about, oh, twice a year, maybe?) just brings it on like a Splash Mountain of clear/cloudy white slime.
Also - do you eat soup? You can’t quite drink it, exactly. I can definitely slurp it loudly.
First, it’s very rare that someone is the “only one who”___________.
Anyway . . . the hot, steamy soup loosens up your mucus, unleashing Splash Mountain. And, unless you pick up the bowl and drink from it, you *eat *soup.
I thought that happened to everyone. What makes you think it doesn’t?
Even if it’s straight-up liquidy with no food chunks in it?
(ok maybe food chunks wasn’t the best way to word that)
Because everyone I’ve whined about it to just gives me the ole Spockian eyebrow.
lol nice to know others are “coming out of the woodwork” on this.
Olive Garden’s Toscana soup gives me and my wife the sniffs.
I get a runny nose after eating almost anything.
Chicken soup is given to people with a cold partially because it can loosen mucous, allowing you to sneeze and/or cough it out. Soup can be an expectorant. So what you experience is normal.
ETA: Tea works too, as do most hot liquids.
** Why oh why am I the only one who gets a runny nose after eating soup? **
God never really liked you very much. Sorry, but you asked.
Actually God genuflects before me every Sunday - he knows who the real McCoy is.
Unless, of course, the soup is in a cup.
Hot soup certainly gives me a runny nose. But I love hot soup in winter in part because it does clear my nose.
I’ve never gotten a runny nose from hot soup. Clearly there are two types of people in the world.

It goes in the mouth.
I stand corrected.
