i usually opt for soup most of the time, as long as it's cream based, bisque style or some sort of gumbo. if it's anything lame like chicken noodle or vegetable i usually pass.
i was going to add a "depends" option but i want to know what you'd choose most of the time
Alsmost exclusively salad, although there is one place I go frequently that has soups that are just ridiculous, so usually soup there, and I'll usually make an exception for clam chowder...other than that...salad.
