But it's soup, you can pour instead of scraping. In fact a corner is a better spout for pouring, if we're being purely practical.

But can you imagine if some fancy-shmancy restaurant served their extremely delicious soup in a square bowl? Teasing you with the impossibility of getting the last drop? I'd tip it out the corner but I'm crass.

If they did so, it would be to mess with your mind and subvert your expectations.

Because soup is round.

If you don't need to scrape anything out of the bowl on your last couple bites then you're eating broth, not soup (consommé is a broth, fight me)

Anyone that thinks that a soup is something you can eat in "bites" is either a lard abuser or lives in some -40°C frozen wasteland

Fight on.

You're acting like you've never accidentally reduced a soup far enough that you almost burned it.

There are dozens of cases, every year!

consommé is a broth

Fun fact: in Italian it's called "brodo chiarificato" which can be roughly translated to "diluted broth"

That only applies if you're transfering the soup out of the container to eat. If you plan on eating straight from the tupperware, round is better for soup

Unless you pour it in your mouth...
