I’m sure that will be the immediate response at the start of next chapter and he will be chided into replacing it with a medium monstrous creature. Or it will lie down, be scary until some other local kids or whatever are seen playing on its back and people relax more.A creature like that would scare away customers too, so while it likely does work its not a great solution...
So what are they gonna do? Make the soup then strain out and separate everything?
Presumably they will make the broth base and add scoops of ingredients to that,sooo... instead of soup they will start selling vegetable tea? A bowl with pre-cooked ingredients (or even raw) that they then pour hot water over (maybe with some spices like salt) to steep as long as the customer can wait?
Honestly sounds horrid. No flavour at all will have been boiled into the water that way.
Big deadly creatures tend to attract women and children though, which is their customer demographic for the soup, but maybe the adventurers would be more wary if there's a big monster at their potion cart...?A creature like that would scare away customers too, so while it likely does work its not a great solution...
That's how my office cafeteria work, they don't pour the broth until you are there. You get bowl with ingredients precooked and can ask for moresooo... instead of soup they will start selling vegetable tea?

What you are describing is not soup. You are eating broth or buillion with added fillings(toppings?). To make soup, the toppings need to actually be boiled in the soup for a little bit, to infect its liquid at least slightly (unlike tea, that does the same, except it steeps well below boiling). If you don't, it is the same as if you take a buillon cube and make a cup of buillon to drink - or some coffee beans and made a cup of coffee - but decide to add sausages or pancakes. It is still a cup of buillon (or coffee) and not a soup, you just used more filling additives than sugar or milk in that coffee/buillon.That's how my office cafeteria work, they don't pour the broth until you are there.

Broth doesn't have to have the ingredients put into it. How do you think those ramen shops work with week long bone broths. They can't just make the broth in a day.
It has a ribbon though.A creature like that would scare away customers too, so while it likely does work its not a great solution...
