Depends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.
I don’t make a lot of soup but I also don’t believe that a soup that was boiled for a brief period of time is necessarily spoiled. In the times that I have made soup, I usually have preferred to see it boil briefly before turning down the heat, and then consuming it shortly after.
Not many people know this but this is actually because the boiling point of the pot material is well above the capability of a cooking oven.

Its a thing moms say to keep kids from asking “is it done yet?” since if the kid does something else, time passes faster for them. I put a pot of water on and stared at it just to prove my mom wrong since i was sick of hearing it, but she was saying it because the kitchen was small and i’d get in the way when cooking my food.
That’s probably why it’s stuck around now that we don’t have wood fired stoves, but lifting a lid to check on a pot really does cause heat loss and makes it take longer to boil.
It will still boil and the difference is single digit minutes at most.
If you mean keeping your soup at a boil is bad then sure. But I always bring it to a boil before turning it down to a simmer
But have you tried not? 🧐
Rather kill off anything that takes that high enough of heat than risk it.
Why? Is it bad or smth?
This is why you can’t boil the ocean. Someone somewhere is always looking at it.
Global warming: Hold my CO2…
Just increase the temperature until everyone is too busy being dead. Then, you’re free to boil the ocean as much as you like.
Like ‘You can’t eat your cake and have it, too’ became a less sensible version.
It’s one of those memes that got ironically reversed. And then the ironic version got remembered by everybody and the original got forgotten.
Irony is eating the world.
What is it supposed to say?
A potted boil is never watched.
I choose to believe it’s this one.
A watched pot always boils?
