4$\begingroup$ @gnovice, in a way. I don't really know much about soups, so I looked up a list of soups and the only ones that looked like they could be part of a longer word were gumbo and pho. This really reduced the number of possibilities, but I don't consider that a fault or defect. Not all puzzles need to be super hard, though; this was a fun little puzzle for us to relax in a lazy afternoon, and it served well for this purpose. $\endgroup$ Dec 23, 2017 at 21:11
