A Bowl of Soup

A bowl of soup can warm your soul,
Fill you up, make you whole.
A bowl of soup can help console – 
Just blow and slurp or sip.

No matter if it’s consommé,
Broth or bisque, its bouquet
Will make your troubles float away,
So here’s a little tip:

If chilled or down is how you feel,
Sit right down, make a meal
Of steaming soup, for it’s ideal
To cause that mood to flip.

Just dip your spoon and in a while,
Warmth will soon make you smile;
For soup is never out of style,
As long as you don’t drip!
