The breakfast trend of Americans starting their day with soup is gaining popularity, with some opting for a balanced, protein-packed meal rather than high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to energy spikes and crashes. Chef and author Suzy Karadsheh, creator of The Mediterranean Dish, has promoted the idea of soup for breakfast on TikTok, calling it an “ancient remedy” that’s been used across cultures for centuries. She also suggested that soup can help fight inflammation and hydrates better than water, and support steady blood sugar and sustained energy. However, nutritionist Kat Chan still recommends it for breakfast, noting that warm meals are often easier to digest than cold ones and that a warm, savory meal can provide protein, fat and fiber that supports steady energy. Experts believe that the trend could continue to grow among people who are genuinely interested in how food makes them feel.
