1.  No slurping of the soup.  This is a very irritating habit some people have.

2.  No blowing your soup to cool it down.  You and/or your table companions may end up with soup all over you/them.

3.  Don’t put your face in the bowl.  Sit up straight when eating soup.

4.  No shoveling the soup into your mouth.  You aren’t eating at a trough,  and this leads to your face being down in the bowl.

5.  Don’t scrape your spoon in the bowl.

6.  Don’t tilt your bowl to get that last little bite of soup.  You just have to leave it.

7.  After you have dipped your spoon in the soup, don’t bring the spoon forward to you.

8.  Don’t drip soup from your spoon.  This could easily make a mess.

9.  No sipping.  Put the spoon into your mouth.

10. When finished eating the soup, don’t leave the spoon in the bowl.

I hope this is helpful the next time you have soup.   This is about eating properly and keeping you from ending up with a messy situation while eating soup.

Bon Appetite!
