It was the best of times, it was the worst times, and in the times in between we ate soup. The Millennial Lunches editorial staff has come together to answer humanity’s age old question, what are the best soups?
#3 Pho

I know what you’re saying, how could pho possibly be so far down the list? It’s not that pho has lost its appeal but rather other soups have skyrocketed past it. Best to not dwell on the broth but look ahead to the future.
#2 Ariana Grande

We wish her well
#1 Canned Chicken Noodle Soup

With layoffs always on the horizon and price of living constantly on the rise, people will search for a way to cope with all of the incoming economic uncertainty.
Just like the tiny homes fad provided a way for young people facing an out of reach housing market to romanticize living in a trail home, we here at Millennial Lunches will do our part for today’s Millennial by saying:
Make. Poverty. Hot again.
Congratulations, canned chicken noodle soup, you are the Official Millennial Lunches Soup of 2026.
