I travel a lot for work. As such, I eat out a lot. As such such, I look at a lot of places’ menus without physically being there (since I don’t know the area, I don’t know where to eat, so I look at the reviews and images posted online).
A restaurant’s soup selection will likely not be the thing that decides if I eat there or somewhere else, but sometimes soup is the only side dish that sounds appetizing, and if I don’t know what kind of soup the restaurant serves I’ll probably just pick somewhere else.

A lot of places do soups and salads based on seasonal availability, and IMO having something on the menu that’s unavailable is a worse customer experience than not having them on the menu and having the waiter/waitress tell them the daily offerings.

most places I have went to have a selection of soups, usually at least two, offered all the time and then a soup of the day.

If the always-available soups aren’t on the menu, I agree that’s dumb. However, I highly doubt that’s what’s happening to OP.
