Soup is often associated with winter and cold dreary days. Wrapping your hands around a mug of soup in the winter and sipping away is a great way to warm up.
Of course soup does not have to be restricted just to the winter months. Many people enjoy a range of cold or chilled soups in the summer.

Soup is thought to help control hunger as it has a high satiety value. This means that people will feel fuller and eat less at the meal if soup is served as a first course.
It is also thought to be more satisfying because of the time it takes to sip a bowl of soup, the more slowly we eat the more satisfying it becomes
