Is serving a cheese scone with soup acceptable?

Yabu - yes, soup and a scone is delicious
Yanbu - no, it's ridiculous

im not sure I would want to dip scone in soup - but fine to eat along side.
Would prefer brown bread with a thick spread of real butter.

Erk, voted wrong way, sorry. Soup and cheese scone is lovely.

Delish on a cold crisp day , sitting outside in nice surroundings, if you can, even lovelier. 😋

I have cheese scones with butter and jam.

Dud it by accident recently and not as bad as I expected 😂

My idea of a perfect lunch especially with Lurpak so thick on the scone you can see teeth marks

Yes of course it is fine, The great Billy Connoly has a whole skit about soup and scones 😀

Try a cheese scone with chilli jam. Yum.

Yes. I had it last night for supper in the pub.

It's not only ok, it's marvellous. I make Stilton and walnut scones to go with vegetable soup.

ThunderThunderThunderThunderCats · 12/11/2026 14:22

Cheese yes, fruit no.

Cheese scones are never acceptable.

I always have a cheese scone when I'm out for coffee.
Now, fruit scones - they are never acceptable

I love cheese scones, so much nicer than fruit ones. They go great with soup too

mysittingduck · 12/11/2026 16:43

Cheese or plain scone yes. Not a sweet scone!

I have cheese scones with butter and jam.

My mum did this once, our neighbour had made them and she didn’t realise they were cheese

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 12/11/2026 16:59

Sounds lovely!

I don’t know why I have never had it tbh!

It's a yuck from me but I never knew savoury scones existed until I moved to England - scones are always sweet for me and I can't get my head around a cheese scone - blagh.

If you dislike cheese i guess that's understandable, but a cheese scone is lovely!

I like them with coarsely grated cheddar and red leicester, and a decent pinch of english mustard powder to bring out the cheesy flavour!

Serve warm with a dab of butter - it's just as nice as having a cheese roll or chesse on toast with your soup. They are all a classic conbination IMO.

Veg soup or lentil soup with cheese scone is an excellent lunch. I’m delighted if that is on the menu

Mama2many73 · 12/11/2026 17:05

I dont mind soup but I wouldnt sacrifice a beautiful cheese scone by eating it with soup!

Those sound lush. Could you post the recipe pretty please.

AlwaysExtraHot · 12/11/2026 17:10

Yes, obviously, but why do you ask? Is someone suggesting it isn't?

But a beautiful cheese scone just makes the soup experience even better.
