slo’s FRIDAY 11/22 poll - Oyster Crackers vs Saltines vs Goldfish In Soup

[slo]

This is a piggyback onto yesterday’s poll. I thought about it yesterday, as I was eating my soup with a bunch of oyster crackers in it. I will also crush up Saltines if no oyster crackers are available. I love Goldfish in tomato soup, but I won’t buy a bag special for that. If my DD21 is home, and I buy some Goldfish for her, then I’ll definitely put them in tomato soup over oyster crackers. So….what’s your thoughts on this - enquirering minds want to know…..

Do you put oyster crackers, Saltines, Goldfish or something else in your soup?
If yes….which one?
Do you do this at home or in a restaurant?
(multiple-choice)


For Me……As I mentioned above, I do put mostly oyster crackers in my soup. If I’m in a restaurant and they give me saltines, and no oyster crackers, I will crush those up and put them in my soup. I always have oyster crackers at home, I do not always have saltines or Goldfish at home.

I like crackers in my soup, both at home and in a restaurant.

I'd say oyster crackers are my first choice, but I'll use Goldfish if we're out if them, and if a restaurant gives me saltines, I'll use those.

(And if it's French onion, one of those big cheesy croutons.)

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I don't put crackers or anything in my soup. I will do saltines (if I don't have a sandwich available), but I do not put them in the soup.

 

[Meriweather]

Usually nothing. I make soup at home and it is hearty soup, so it doesn't need anything.
But occasionally, if I happen to have tomato soup at home, I might put crackers in it. But I don't usually have crackers around. It would be saltines or oyster (they are the same) or popcorn.
I never order soup in a restaurant.

 

[Disneylover99]

I add Chinese fried noodles to my wonton soup.
That’s about it.

I never put any of those in my soup. Crackers turn to mush and I find that unappealing in any sort of soup.

Sometimes, it just depends. Another thing would be Club crackers, one local restaurant supplies those when you order soup. Usually the restaurants give me more than I use, so I take them home and use them there. The only thing that I have never used would be Goldfish crackers, I just wouldn’t want to use them in soup.

 

[RedAngie]

I like Keebler Club Crackers, which is now a Kellogg’s brand. But I just dip them in the soup; I don’t fully immerse them or crumble them on top.

 

[Kitty 34]

I like oyster crackers right out of the box but in my soup I prefer saltines.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

I like oyster crackers or saltines in my soup. At home or in a restaurant. Whatever's available. Didn't know people put goldfish in soup. When I was six, I did put goldfish in Barbie's pool, my parents weren't pleased, but that's another story.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I put the square saltines or oyster crackers in my soup almost always. Usually chili also. I've never used goldfish, sounds like that might be good also. I use at home or restaurants.

 

[CAPSLOCK]

I don't really soup.

However goldfish crackers or cheez-its are great on mac & cheese. Ideally you crumble a few on top, eat the first layer with the crackers while they're still crunchy, then repeat the next layer down. I imagine that would be the proper method for crackering soup also.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Nothing in my soup but the spoon !

 

[jo-jo]

Sometime I will put the Franks flavor goldfish crackers in tomato soup. But I don't eat tomato soup that often. We always have goldfish. Grandma and sunday school teacher, we ALWAYS have goldfish crackers in different flavors in the house.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Pre pandemic I loved plain Goldfish crackers as a standalone snack and in soup. When I was growing up I sometimes liked a saltine cracker while waiting for food at a restaurant. Church campers sure loved Ritz crackers.

 

[NYCgrrl]

Every once in a while I’ll allow the carbs to float, lol.
Has to be a worthy soup like RI clam broth w/ oyster crackers or the broad fried noodles for hot and sour soup.
I’m not “allowed” to add the Gruyere atop the crouton for onion soup so I use herbed ricotta dumplings instead. Sometimes it fools DGD, other times she gives me that “ I’m barely tolerating you” eye slide.
Gosh, I live in fear then…

 

[loves to dive]

It depends on the soup I'm eating but I use saltines. If I'm eating chicken noodle, I'll crush up about 3 or 4 saltines and put them in. If I'm eating any other kind of soup, I'll eat saltines on the side. If I'm eating chili and we have oyster crackers, I'll put those in it, if we don't I'll crush up 3 or 4 saltines and put those in it.

 

[Micca]

No crackers in soup, sometimes club crackers with soup. There have been no saltines or oyster crackers here in ages, sometimes we have Goldfish for snacks for the DGDs.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I don't put anything in my soup but I do love oyster crackers!

 

[RUDisney]

It depends on the soup. At home, I typically add grated cheese to my homemade soups... no crackers. If the soup is creamy, I'll usually serve it with garlic bread on the side that will be dunked into the soup.

In restaurants, I will add the cracker they provide.
