This be SOUP weather! Can I get a witness?
Formal Dining Must Dos (Eating Soup)
Soup, usually the first course, shows you off as a savvy diner or someone whose
manners could do with polishing! Soup is served either in a wide, shallow dish,
or a smaller bowl, resting on an under-plate.
• Spoon the soup away from you, towards the center of the bowl.
• Sip from the side of the spoon. Never put the whole spoon in your mouth or slurp.
Noisy eating is better placed in the farmyard, rather than the dining table!
• Tip the bowl away from you and spoon the soup across the bowl to get at the last bits.
• After finishing the soup, place the spoon in the under-plate, or in the soup plate at
a 10:20 position.
...
From what I read, slurping one's soup is quite acceptable in China, however. ;)
