Budweiser Real Men of Genius man, about a giant taco salad: "A culinary creation that baffles the human mind... a twelve thousand calorie salad... Is it healthy? Of course it is. It's a salad isn't it?"
That's MY kind of healthy. ;D
Mine as well!
In college, I worked at a restaurant called "The Soup Kitchen". (No, it wasn't a homeless shelt soup kitchen) We made mostly soups and sandwiches, so I learned the art of making a good soup. And eating soup everyday for a year was awesome, too.
We have a soup kitchen restaurant here and they do have amazing soups. Their chili with mexican cornbread, yum. BUT I don't ever crave soups like I do salads. Salads have all the right colors and textures. You can have a sweet walnut, berry, poppyseed salad or tangy, creamy caesar salad. Taco salad with beans and tortilla slices. Asian salads or salad bar where you put anything and everything on it and oh my the different dressings!
Abra, yes, that's the same place! The location I worked at was another location in Cookeville, so we had the same soups. You know what makes their chili amazing? Pork n beans. Yep.
Of course, this all boils down to personal taste. I crave soups, especially chilli and cabbage and sausage soup.
Do you mean salad vs soup as in what's the better food in general or what do we prefer as an appetizer?
Ok... so it seems to be in general? But salad wins either way. I was just trying to figure out what else to say about the matter.
I eat a decent amount of soup. My mother and I both make homemade soups and we freeze portions. So I eat a homemade soup 2-3 times/week and I enjoy it. I rarely order soup out or buy a can, however. I usually only like broth based soups- you'll raaaarely see me order a chowder, for example. Guilty pleasure of mine:
On a normal week, I eat 4-7 (full-size) salads. I eat a spinach salad almost every day for lunch during the week. I LOVE my salads, but I am super picky with them. They have to be BIG and veggie filled. A dinky side or starter salad... PSHHHH they barely constitute as a salad.

This is hard. Soup when it's thick and cheesy and amazing is .....well, amazing. i.e. French Onion - LITerally not worth a damn without a giant (and I mean GIANT) dollop of cheese in it.
However, Salad is SO versatile. and you can put so much crap in a salad. You can go the fruit route with strawberries and cranberries and mandarin oranges, or the mexican route with an ass of avocado and cheddar, or the freshiefresh route with cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes... and ranch. ..... And as the Budweiser Real Men of Genius man in my favorite commercial "Giant Taco Salad Inventor" says: "ground beef, cheddar cheese, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream... and if there's any room left, a few shreds of lettuce (I dont see no lettuce)." i.e. Lettuce is optional. And therefore, the crappiest part of a traditional salad is optional. And therefore, a salad is nothing more than a bowl of all the crap you want to eat in one location. And therefore, salads win.
I was on the fence until this. The brilliance of the logic makes me Team salad

This is as easy as MMJ v Radiohead for me. Soup by a mile. If you salad eaters have had KM's clam chowder or my Dad's Seafood bisque you would feel the same
I'm still in the "you don't have to choose" camp. People fought wars so you could eat both, you're disrespecting our past service men and women by not doing so.
^ Yeah, I'd rather not choose, either. I'm a sucker for a nice French onion soup or lobster bisque/clam chowdah; however, the versatility of salad makes it the blue jeans of food. You can't go wrong with it as a base; add anything to it (to dress it up or down) & it's complete.
Silver lining to this debate? Bacon makes 'em both better. ;D
You misled me. Why would you vote for something that was the best only once rather than something that's better more often? HUH? HUH???
Because then I thought about all the best soups I've had: pho (already pictured) ramen (real ramen, not the packaged)
albondigas
chicken tortilla
french onion (already pictured) minestrone
and apple brie soup
They are all better than the best salads I've had...which are also delicious, but I don't really crave them. Thinking of those soups made me very hungryyy.

Bouillabaisse 1. Noun. Highly seasoned Mediterranean soup or stew made of several kinds of fish and shellfish with tomatoes and onions or leeks and seasoned with saffron and garlic and herbs.
In kitchens all across the country, working alongside many Latinos I learned the best possible cure for a horrible hangover is a big, spicy steaming bowl of Siete Mares.
