Why is it so #$%# difficult to get soup in Australia?

Everywhere I go they have fries,burgers,nuggets,kebaps,pizzas,even sushis are now so very common...but when I ask for soup all I get is a #$%# blank stare? Isn't it time they accepted the fact that not all customers are trendy young yupsters with all their own teeth? Why I cannot get soup at McDonalds, nor at the petrol station or at the airport or chemist or fish/chipshop? I like to have soup at least 2-3 times a day but its not so convenient to carry it around with me because sometimes it spills in my pocket or in the car, who is responsible for removing soup from the menus and can they please put it back?
