I'm not a fan of the soup-and-salad, or even soup-and-sandwich combo (unless it's a drinkable soup, such as tomato with grilled cheese). Soup is a meal, salad is a meal - again, with hard-boiled eggs and/or cheese added - and a sandwich is a meal; no need to combine them, really?
Anyone a fan of drinking soups AS a hot beverage? Such as cream soups or broths?
Yup; I drink tomato soup in a huge mug. I use fat free half and half to make it, so it's richer. Yum!
Speaking of soup, has anyone tried the new "O, That's Good" soup marketed by Oprah? Normally I can't stand anything with a celebrity endorsement. but since these are supposed to have at least partially healthy ingredients like butternut squash and cauliflower, I thought they might be worth trying as a quicky snack or lunch. However, I also think they'll be pricey, so was hoping for a recommendation before trying one out.

Otter, I rarely see a post with which I wholeheartedly agree - today, it's yours.
Soup and a bread = a meal. Salad and crackers = a meal. (I put cheese, chicken chunks, celery, onion, tomato, and sprouts in mine.) A sandwich and a few chips = a meal.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, yes, multiple gr.ch. sandwiches, = a meal.
For drinkable, I sometimes have a cup of beef bullion. Not too often because of the sodium content but I see it as nourishing and comforting.

Exactly!
You can buy the actual broth in a can and heat it (if you're watching fat, refrigerate it and skim it off first); much less sodium than bullion.

If you haven't already, try Amy's. Excellent quality with healthy ingredients and decent enough prices in my opinion. https://www.amys.com/our-foods?onthemenu[0]=soups
I'm aware people eat soup and salad etc. I was thinking more, traditional Americans usually don't have a big soup as a dinner entree. Consider Vietnamese restaurants. Pho is what people think about a lot when they go to a Vietnamese place. Maybe bahn mi.
We have soup often as an entree.
How would you know what all Americans *usually* have as an entree?
Do you know the dining details of every American on the planet?

For you perhaps the listed combinations are a meal but obviously not for others.
What does it matter what other's eat as their meal?
I also love Mexican Chicken Tortilla soup, with 2 flour tortillas on the side. If it's prepared right, it's an enjoyable meal.
