As bad as the cheese soup may be, perhaps you all need to start riding with all of us great unwashed in the back of bus and then maybe you'll stop your whining.
It is amazing what we moo about on this board
. Moooooooo (that's for the cheese.

Actually, the price of cheese is up over 50% over the past year, measured as 40lb blocks of Cheddar by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. $2.04/lb vs. $1.33/lb a year ago.

Unless CO hedged its cheese exposure along with its fuel, perhaps we'll see less of it in our food?

I think one of those soups is called "California Vegetable Medley" or some such thing, which cleverly deceives you into thinking you're getting something healthy. Then appears a revolting cup of queso with one or two shards of cauliflower floating therein. It can't be that much harder or more expensive for CO to provide "normal" soups like chicken noodle or tomato.
I was thinking, tomato "soup" from any airline would probably been a heated up can of tomato juice, possibly with a little "spice" from the bloody mary mix thrown in for good measure.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but there was a confirmed Cheese Soup appearance yesterday flying out of IAH.
The F/A didn't even try and disguise it by calling it "broccoli" or "CA vegetable" she just called it cheese soup.
It was paired perfectly with Kung Pao shrimp.
