Russians eat soup with every lunch (or it might be more correct to say dinner in this context), but Americans have it as a meal. I've never even heard Americans delineate everyday meals into the three courses that Russians do.

Meanwhile, Andy doesn't usually like soup, but I do, so we compromise and I make it infrequently. Usually, he eats it on the first day and I have it for lunch for a few days thereafter - I tend to make a big pot.

Here are some soups I've been liking to make lately:
Avgolemono
Creamed spinach soups of various kinds (or kale, too)
Ochazuke
Easy borscht: store-bought borscht soup base plus diced beets, cucumber, hardboiled eggs and sour cream (OK, it's actually more like холодник)
And maybe some other ones I'm forgetting. Maybe my brain turned to soup, too.

ETA: Thank you [livejournal.com profile] star_invention for reminding me of my other favorites:
Miso (with tofu and rice or noodles to make a full meal)
Chicken soup with matzoh balls
Creamy tomato
Various kinds of mushroom

It is a stereotype that everyone gets fat when they come to America, but I think it's just because food tastes better, there's more of it, and we don't walk as much. City people in certain cities do tend to be thinner, though, but most Americans don't live in such cities.

Да, я тоже думаю, что вопрос больше в количестве соблазнов, а не во вредности еды как таковой) Я тут набрала сперва, потом сбросила - когда перестали ходить по ресторанам и начала хоть немного заниматься спортом. Такого, как пугают некоторые, когда бесконтрольно толстеешь и ничего сделать не можешь, ттт, не наблюдалось. Законы все те же, что и на родине.
А одноклассница ездила в США из Украины в середине 90-х. Понятно, какое там тогда было разнообразие)

I won't eat any of that stuff now! Well, maybe the strawberry yogurt, if it's the good kind!

Ну не совсем стереотипы. Мой Хамстер приехал в штаты из продуктового уругвайского изобилия и за год стал в два раза толще. Тут=то больше натуральных продуктов, а у вас продукты отличаются. Больше жира, везде кукурузный сироп добавляют и прочие дела. Он ел-то то же самое по названию, но другое по содержанию.

Just because it's a stereotype doesn't mean it doesn't actually happen to a lot of people. It certainly happened to me, but I also hit puberty at the same time.
