But it's soup, you can pour instead of scraping. In fact a corner is a better spout for pouring, if we're being purely practical.

But can you imagine if some fancy-shmancy restaurant served their extremely delicious soup in a square bowl? Teasing you with the impossibility of getting the last drop? I'd tip it out the corner but I'm crass.

If they did so, it would be to mess with your mind and subvert your expectations.

Because soup is round.

    If you don't need to scrape anything out of the bowl on your last couple bites then you're eating broth, not soup (consommé is a broth, fight me)
