We're making a soup tier list. Welcome to Good Mythical More. Soup lovers everywhere. Are tearing up. Wow. We're gonna tear up over these soups. Tears are going right into their soups. Would you consider yourself a soup lover? Not. Me neither. I'm not a soup lover. I'm a soup accepter. I'll accept it. Oh yeah. I'm never. It's very rare that I get excited about soup. The only there is, there are two soups on here that I get legitimately excited about. Oh, one is a true app and one is a meal in itself. But are we assuming like these are the best versions of these things? Soups? Sure. This is is like you have gone to the place where this is their specialty. This is the best soup they got. Yeah. 'cause there's a lot of bad. You know, I'm just saying I'm not gonna get that excited about soup. I don't know what gazpacho is, but is that, how's that different than tomato soup? It's cold. Oh, well that's D. I like to either eat or drink, not both soup, you know what I mean? I wanna know I'm eating or I'm drinking. So you don't like mcha ball soup because you have to eat the balls? Uh, that's not really what I meant. What I meant was something that's not a liquid or a solid. I is something I like if I'm drinking, I'm drinking. If I'm eating, I'm eating. But also these are like, you're not a meal soup guy, you're is that, you know? So it's like this is an appetizer. Only when I'm sick. I went through sick. I just remember I went through a soup era. When was this? In grade school. Okay. I got my mom. My mom bought me a thermos. A thermos. I remember this. Remember my Thermos era, and it was a big thermos. Your suit would still be steaming as soon as it lunch rolled around because I got a really good thermos and it had like glass double insulation. It had glass inside of it. Yes. Couldn't drop it. I dropped it and I broke it and I broke all the glass in it and everything became gazpacho. I don't know, it's not like my mom was gonna whip me or something, but like. I was devastated. You should have been. I was. I remember being devastated. And this was before your parents would buy you a new thing. Like in today's modern world, you break something, your parents are like, oh, and they buy it In our world, you broke your glass thermos. You never got a new one. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what I was so upset. It was like that was your chance. Soup times over liny poo and there would be leftovers in there that would stay warm. Oh man. Like my favorite thing, my favorite meal was Hamburger Helper. Yeah. And it's tough to see that come out of a thermos and like the cheeseburger hamburger helper. Yeah, it gross. I always looked away while you were pour it out. It was so warm and so nice and I would eat it out of the thing. Yeah, that the best version of a soup, that hamburger helper. Yeah. He's not a soup at all. Um, I would have that in there. So my soup era. Really ham on a hamburger helper. I'm trying to think what else I would put in there. You'd be over there eating that hot steamy hamburger helper and I'd have a hot dog sandwich that was as cold as it was outside. You know, it was just like the tinfoil that my mom had wrapped it in had had a big crack in it. Yeah, she'd also wrap me up a pb and j and like all of the jelly would like soak into that half of the sandwich. That's pretty good though. And it would become this like floppy heavy thing. I love that wasn't in a thermostat. Maybe we should rank a soup. Gazpacho. D. Drag it. Sure I don't. A cold soup, why are you doing it? Right. Tomato. And with a grilled cheese sandwich. Well, there's no grilled cheese here. This is just a soup. If it's just a soup, it's probably C. I'll accept B if you really wanna push it. I'm not gonna push hard on anything here except two of them. Um. Broccoli cheddar is got so much cheese in it and you feel like you're doing something healthy because you get broccoli, but you know you're not. Um, but I'm just gonna say that I think broccoli cheddar is a at or soup. Yeah. On. And when you're talking about, have you had it lately? Like, okay, what? What? No. What to you is the lately A tier? Well, 'cause not a Panera. That's the thing. Like I remember that being like a signature Panera thing and mm-hmm. I remember the first time I had it I was like, cheese and then I had it again and I was like, chemical or, yeah, yeah, yeah. They changed it, you know, they changed it. So it's like, like society changed. Broccoli, cheddar. I didn't, Panera did like maybe. I dunno. I think Panera did. I mean, it's just hard. It's hard. Chicken noodle. Oh, chicken noodle is, it's a classic. It's a good taste, but it's, but it makes me think about being sick. It makes me think about being sick. CC for sick, C below tomato, I would swap those two. Okay. I'm not gonna argue. Uh, now you're holding back on your feet. I will, I will enjoy something I've just seen now. I will enjoy a lobster bisque at our nice restaurant. I like a lobster biscuits. If there's a lobster bisque, I'm putting it in the rotation. Let's go. A, we're not. That's a a. Yeah. I'm not gonna s here anything until we've got this thing more laid out. Well, okay. I got, I'm kind, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, I got two going straight to S here, brother. Oh, you do? We'll save those men. That's a D for me. Don't like it. What is it even? It's, it's like vegetables and like, it's like leftover soup. Yeah, but it's, but it has a noodle in it. Yeah, it has a weird noodle. It shouldn't have a noodle. It's like a vegetable soup, but with a noodle that I don't like. And the beans are really big. I don't like that. You know, people eat a lot of soup and they eat a lot of canned soup, but now they're finding out. That all the soups have the lining in them. You know, like most of those soups, like people, I don't know. They knew that there was some stuff that wasn't great about canned stuff and now I don't know what, I don't know what the updated stuff is, but stuff, stuff, stuff. You talking about leach leaching, there's that, but then all of these, a lot of these cans are lined with plastic. It's like the P, isn't that the PFA? Yeah. And it's the forever chemical. So that, oh, that reminds me. Soup is forever in you. I had another era once my thermos broke and it was called the chunky soup era. Yeah, I remember that as well. And it was, it was a flip top, peel away thing and it, but the outside. It felt like plastic on the outside, and sometimes I would, once I got deep into that era, I started getting dent, more stew dent, more dti, more beef stew. And that's hard, man. And if you don't heat that stuff up enough, it's got these like, like fat chunks in it. Oh, you know how like you gotta get it hot? You can do, you can do these like, uh, vision boards, not vision boards or like look, look books. Yeah. Where it's just like things that are like represent you in that era. There's like definitely a link. Yeah. That there's like a thing of chunky soup. Yeah. And then there's soup, like a pogo ball. Right. And like a ww f. Yep. Action Figure. Yeah, man. Yep. Those are the days. Uh, Converse All Stars Knee highs, not Kneehigh, it just folded over. Hold on. But they, they called 'em knee highs. Well, no, there are some that went up. But you folded them, went, you folded 'em over. They weren't knee highs. They could have been knee highs. They weren't called knee highs. They were, there was another thing that would go to your knee, but that girls would wear that wear. They were called knee highs where we come from. Mine just folded over. I feel like most of what we've left, I don't have a connection to ZA Ball suit. The first time I had it was on this show. I gotta see that good. A good, I don't disagree with that, but there, that's what I mean is like it's a big, you gotta have a good matza ball soup. You're like, but it's in the sick category a little bit. I think it's, I think it's right next to chicken noodle. I chicken noodle. Think it beats. Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's worse than chicken noodle. What? Have you had a good one. Here's why. Disagree. The ball. Why are the balls so big? They don't have to be. No. The ball are always don't be. And you know what? They don't have to be, the only thing in it is just soggy bread. There's nothing. No. Oftentimes it is like you take the noodles out of chicken noodle and you still have the shredded chicken and the vegetables and all that, but that ball is just wet bread. But a lot of people, and me included, like wet bread. You don't like wet bread. So I think that you might have to just, which is odd. I felt aside, like wet bread holes in your, he doesn't like amisu. The mussies dessert. I don't like soggy bread. He complains about cake being too dry and matza balls being too wet. Too What? Too big? How? How do you satisfy this man? I think we gotta put it at B here. Now. Split pea. You love split pea. Oh God. S. Okay. We eat, we each, we each get a couple of S tiers without any argument. Yep. That's my one right there. And split. No. Tell us about split pea. Why is it so good for you? And when did you discover it? Was it in your elementary school? No. Yeah. No. This is as a complete adult. Peas are the mussies vegetable. That's why. What's that? Um, green. What pea? What's the split pea? The sour peas in the can. That's what I love. Place. Anderson's. Yeah. And it's gone. Yeah. Oh, it's gone. It's gone. I didn't know about it. I mean, did you have it before? Never had it. Oh. But we, uh, Christy makes it at home. Yeah. After, um, she puts ham in right Thanksgiving because she takes the honey baked ham. Ooh. Or the ham. The ham that I used to burn. She would take pieces of that. She would take the parts that weren't burned and she would put that in the split pea soup, and it's just great. That is. You know what? I'm in complete agreement with this being S tier because. It's thick. There's something about the combination of those flavors. Yeah. That it just hits so hard and it's unique in its entity. Let's talk about clam chowder for a moment. Love it. New England, it's, it's very good. I think it's a tier. Yeah. Now this is New England. This is not, they don't have the other one, the red one. Manhattan style. I don't want that. Which, yeah. Why are we doing that? This? Yeah, that. I love some clam chowder. Especially those little hle. H what? What is it? Hexagon. Oh yeah, the little crackers. Are they hexagons or octagons? They're puffy. I'll say that. Mm-hmm. Those are nice. And if you go to a, why they, why do they go with clam chowder? That's my question. I don't. And why does it work at a steak restaurant? I don't know. Well, usually it's a, usually, I mean, they, I've been to a couple of steak restaurants they have, but it's usually a steak restaurant that also has a good lobster, which most steak steak places do. Now you can get a bad clam chowder too, and when you get a bad one, it's the worst thing you can eat. But these are all the best. But this, if this is the best. Oh yeah. If the cream, it's eight. Like if the cream is sour gumbo. A good gumbo. I'm still gonna say B if you got the best gumbo. Yeah. Dude, we are approaching chili territory to give you a little uh, right hint as where I'm going here. Yeah. But, um, 'cause it what It's got what? It's got that an dey sausage in it. Mm-hmm. That's good. Yeah, dude, it's so good. And it's so regional. It's a treat. I think it's at least a, here. I was gonna say B, so we're gonna have to stick with a. Now chicken and dumplings is a very North Carolina thing like, but they serve that at our cafeteria. I do not consider it a soup though. It's like between a soup and a chicken pot pie. But is that, I mean, we would eat it. Is it super regional? Like when we would eat it, we would not eat it on in a bowl. We would eat it on a plate. They put it in, well, they put it in the. The part of the tray that kind of catches it all the tray at like the cafeteria. Yeah. I, I'm, I'm fine with beef for that. Did you ever, because I don't consider it a soup. Did you eat it at school? No. You never got school lunch? Never got it. I was just suspicious of, wow, you messed up. You missed so many great guys. What was going on back there? You missed so many great things. Yeah, chicken and dumplings. Let's just put it at b. Okay. I mean, something's gotta go down. It's like a nice little chicken shelf. Are you trying to move chili to S here? Because 1000% I think we got to if a, a, the best chili, like when I get home, and I mean most of the time we would do takeout or I'll just do like a really light dinner that I like, make myself or whatever. Every once in a while, just chili on the pot. I get home and I know it as soon as I walk in and she's like, I made chili. And I'm just like, I know I'm about to go crazy on this chili. 'cause she also makes cornbread put, put the cornbread. Oh yeah. In the bowl. Put the chili on top of it so it gets lost. They make different chili and then I find it again. They, they, um, they make the same cornbread, they use the same recipe, which is great. They being our wives. Yeah. Um, the chill. I love tea or chili. Yeah, chili. And again, it can be done a couple of different ways. Jessie has a little dark chocolate in her chili that gives it this like sweetness that I absolutely love. It's a little bit spicy. It's got the, we gotta do the beans. It's a full meal. That's, that's why I think it's so incredible. I'm kind of getting caught up on, um. Baked potato versus broccoli cheddar. 'cause I think baked potato is better than broccoli cheddar, but it's not as good for you as broccoli cheddar. Okay, fine. C it put it at C now It is good though this, this may be controversial. I think broccoli cheddar needs to move down to b. I agree with that. Okay. I'm, I am just not the biggest fan of miso soup. I can, I just, can I just come out and say it? I, you can like, you don't like the, like you don't like the taste of it. Well, let me, you know me. I'm not gonna say anything and I'm going to eat it all. Like, so you take me to a restaurant, a Japanese hibachi, they bring the miso soup because it's part of the thing. I'm gonna eat it and I'm going to enjoy it. Mm-hmm. Somewhat. Okay. But this is a soup tier list and I'm just, there's just something about it. The thing I really don't like is when they put miso on other things, like Wow. Yeah, I, there's something about miso seasoning on like a meat, like a miso salmon. That I'm always like, ah, I just wish this wasn't this. Yeah, you don't like me, so that's okay. Yeah. You know, on my scale it's not like liver, it's not repulsive. It's just kind of like, ah, this could be something else. It's like the seasoning time. Also not a huge fan of that. You don't see time a lot. I've started to. Be okay with miso soup. Like I can, I can drink a whole bowl of it now, Uhhuh, but, um, a year ago I wouldn't touch it. So that puts it at d for me. I do like that it's a soup that you can pick up and drink without using a spoon. And it's some, it's like acceptable. Yeah, I like that. That's fun about it. A lot of people say that it's an aphrodisiac. I'm a big fan of drinking. So from the bowl. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Have you not heard of the, the famous saying, miso horny, uh. God, you dumb black bean. Talk about it. The famous saying, two live crew. Uh, hold on. Okay, go. Black Bean. Two live crew was the legit guys. Black bean. There's more sighing that's happening. Link would've had that on his vision board, his his look book Pogo Ball. No, I wouldn't. Two live crew. Black bean is in the big potato category for me. I don't understand. I, I like black beans. Yeah. And sometimes this is so unexciting, but what is that? And this is a bean guy saying this. Yeah. I don't think we need to unbe. I Beans C tier. Chicken tortilla. Chicken tortilla. I If it's good. We had an era where that was me. It's almost a chilling, but I think it can, I'm kind of over it. I don't know. Christy makes a really good chicken to think about how good it can be though. And it can be really the best. I think it's a tier when it's the best. 'cause it's so meal unified. It's such a meal. Okay. Alright. Yeah, I'm coming around. I had, um, Porto's had a caldo deez, like, like beef soup special. And I'm, I don't get, I don't get soup. Soup is not, you don't go to Porto's and get soup? No, I've never done it. I'm telling you. Well, they do everything great. What is it called again? It's, it's basically beef soup is what it translates to. But caldo de re. And it's like a, it's like a, it's, it's kind of tortillas. Just a st st st. But it's like more of a beef. Yeah. Is it gravy consistency? No, it's, it's, is it like vie like enti more? No, no. It, it's not a stewy, it's, it's more of a it consistency of like a, a chicken noodle or a chicken soup, but it's with beef. Oof. Lord. Okay. Well we've left What I assume is your, your favorite. I think that this last one, if there is a double S tier, then there shouldn't be because that's not fair. French onion soup, man. What a start to a meal. What? A start to a meal. Drag it up there. I mean, just think about it. Cheese is great, first of all, and then the way that it's like if the, if you do it right. It's got the, that layer, it's got the soggy bread. Ooh. And the bread is actually stale bread that has been used again. And there's just something beautiful about that. Now, you started off this more saying that you weren't a real soup guy, and I found that to be interesting because you talk about french onion soup. Yeah. Pretty often. Like if someone said like, list rets favorite food. In fact, in my last meal I had french onion soup. Well. So, yeah. So do you need to amend anything? I guess I'm a soup guy. Well, you're a french onion soup. Yeah. I'm a French onion soup guy and a chili guy. Yeah. And I'm a Split peaea guy and a chili guy. That's the guys that we are. Are we locked? Are we locked in? Is there anything we wanna shove? I feel like this is a pretty good spread. I mean, this is equal opportunity across all tier. Okay. Locked. Get your food fix on the Mythical kitchen channel.
