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

[Dan Murphy]

I put saltines in. But I love oyster crackers in restaurants! Not sure if I've ever seen them in grocery stores to buy. I always have saltines at home. I snack on them.

When we had the grandkids every day some years back, we had the 150 count box here, just like the restaurants. About 33 cents a bag.

Only one soup I put saltine crackers in, Split Pea. Everything else is cracker less.

I don't put crackers in soup. I might dip some buttered bread in.

Ritz crackers only!! And only in cream of mushroom or tomato soup (Campbell's only)! I'll crush up about a third of a tube of ritz into a mug of soup... love the texture and flavor. Sometimes I'll add Ritz to homemade chicken soup, but that's almost sacrilege, my soup is so good! I only do this at home; I never order soup when we are out to dinner.

No crackers in soup for me. There are no saltines, oyster, or goldfish crackers anywhere in our house. I do have some crunch master crackers, occasionally eaten with cheese, or pita chips, eaten with salsa.

I don't think they make these anymore, but they were my favorite. They didn't get mushy right away.

I only put them in chowders and tomato soup, otherwise, no crackers added.to other soups.

Don't really have crackers with soup, but my parents would sometimes have saltines w theirs. But, growing up, when we'd go eat at Shoney's they had oyster crackers on the buffet, and I thought those were the best things ever. I don't remember ever having them at home, so that was a treat!

When I usually eat chicken noodle soup especially when i'm sick or during the cold weather I love eating crackers with my soup and my cracker of choice is Club Crackers and I don't dip my crackers in the broth but I eat them by themselves after I finish my soup and Club Crackers are so great to eat and my second cracker of choice is Ritz and Ritz Crackers are also good and usually I can eat a whole package of them by themselves. But Dad for some reason loves to eat oyster crackers with his clam chowder or kipper snacks but each time he wants oyster crackers he can never find them but when Dad eats soup especially beef and barley soup he can usually wolf down a whole bunch of saltine crackers and that's why my mom always buys two boxes of saltine crackers for Dad and me

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.

Thank you for the thank you Dan

Very rarely use crackers in my soup.
Oyster Crackers in Clam Chowder is pretty much it.
Other than that I usually use bread with my soup.

Those were the balls I received years ago in Philadelphia! And no, I couldn't find anything for sale like that when I was answering. They were great!

No crackers of any kind. Prefer garnishes like chives, green onions, pico de gallo, guacamole, avocado, cheddar, cream cheese, sour cream, bacon, etc.
