What does your favorite soup say about you..?

Now that we are entering the Fall months and the weather is beautifully changing, think about this.. Is there anything more comforting on a cold fall day than a bowl of soup? I don't think so; and neither does Neurologist Alan Hirsh, MD (SmellAndTaste.org), "soup brings us back to the cozy fall/snow/rainy days of our childhood" he says. "That nostalgia factor- plus the fact that the taste and personality develop in the same brain region- means soup can reflect aspects of who you are." Find out what your favorite soup says about you!

If you prefer:

Vegetable or Minestrone: You are a serene thinker

Vegetable Soup, with it's earthy flavor, complements your down- to- earth nature.   "thoughtful and introverted, you prefer long walks to, say, team sports," says Dr. Hirsch. Calm and collected, you epitomize grace under pressure and exude a sophisticated cool that puts others at ease.


French Onion Soup: You are a risktaker!

"Ristakers tend to be drawn to the strong flavor of onions" says Dr. Hirsch; Indeed, you love to challenge yourself and know that even if you fail now and then, it's the attempt that always makes you a winner. For you,  obstacles are opportunities and challenges are incentives to push yourself harder and to grab everything you deserve.


Tomato: you are carefree kid at heart

Tomato soup the perfect partner for mom's grilled cheese sandwich., It's closely associated with childhood. No wonder you retain the best attitudes of youth- a relaxed spontaneity! But it doesn't mean you don't work hard when it counts. "You are diligent, yet stop just short of stressful perfectionism" notes Dr. Hirsch. In other words you have a healthy, balanced, approach to life. 


Split Pea: You are in the Driver's seat!

"People who like split pea tend to be confident leaders" says Dr. Hirsch. Split pea is a relative unusual choice, he explains, hinting at your own out the box thinking. Rather than being intimidated by the spotlight, you relish it and think well on your feet. It's a rere talent that makes you perfect for leadership roles. 



 Clam Chowder: You are a natural optimistic!

 Dr. Hirsch's research reveals a strong link between idealism and a craving for clam chowder! That may be because clams are a summery food often enjoyed in happy groups and, that speaks to your social spirit. You are fun-loving and can lift the mood of those around you with just a smile. 






Chicken SoupYou are there for loved ones!

" You are generous and very receptive to  emotions of those around you" says Dr. Hirsch. Translation? you are hugely empathetic and feel compelled to help others. Just as chicken soup it's associated with comfort and healing, so are you linked with nurturing and sensitivity.  










  So what do you think..? which one it's your favorite..?
