Nah, its because you need to scrape down the sides to get all the soup at the end and if its a square container you can’t do that in the corners. Round containers are just easier to scrape down.
For those that need an explanation: round containers don’t have corners, but square ones do. Soup is a liquid, which means it will occupy the corner. The corners are very difficult to get liquid out of; be it with a spoon or otherwise for eating, cleaning, serving, etc… Putting soup in round containers keeps that problem from occurring.
And very difficult to scrub the grease off of
Counter argument: corners make it easier to pour accurately. If it’s a thick soup, you’re going to get strips of soup stuck to the container between the spoon strokes either way and a corner can act as a soup staging area that makes it easier to get the soup out instead of just pushing it around. And a spatula would make quick work out of either shape.
Though note that I’m picturing a rectangular container with rounded edges.
Because of bowls, I get it
Too dumb to meme
yeah, ok. tend to agree. although i will allow a Squircle
I don’t even possess a round container. They’re strictly less practical than rectangular ones
Because you can’t explain. Because your brain is in a round container and it has personal biases in shape preferences.
Assuming no gravity, soup is a sphere.
Never trust soup from a tetrapack
It’s very hard to get all of the soup out of a square container, because a spoon won’t reach into the edges properly
I wish bouillon cubes were spheres
Bouillon balls
Soup is round Soup cans are Soup cubes We must resolve this tension Soup cobes
Hey. We have a real word for soup cubes. It’s cylinder.
I completely understand, I see nothing wrong with this statement.
I prefer square because it’s easier to fold the soup.

I disagree hard. The shape of soup is temperature based.
I am upset by how entirely correct you are about this.
