It's hearty and goes well with the pita chips.

PHX Low A gates......food is make your own "grain" bowls. Chicken looks as low quality as the DL SkyClubs.
Unrelated, but can we get rid of that disgusting cheeseburger soup (only seen it at ORD, not in PHX so far)??

In other soup related news, CLT has the baja chicken enchilada back, but the formulation is different from before...much smaller pieces of chicken and no chunks of zucchini (and maybe other changes)

Fun times at ORD this morning! 
Fortunately, we did make it out (AA 2384); albeit with a one hour delay. I didn't notice this reported earlier, but the HK club had eggs this morning with choice of toppings (not pictured). Honestly, wasn't a bad little bite.

They had a carrot soup and the Moroccan spicy lentil soup at both ACs at LAX. The lentil soup has some good kick to it.
BTW, Rice Krispy treats all over the place in clubs out west but not DCA.

Have you tried it, and don't like it? Or are you just put off by it? I am in the latter camp, but I tried it anyways, and it was actually pretty good.

Personally, I've never tried one because that means one less brownie bite, which is a tradeoff that I'm unwilling to make.
