    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

    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.

    It’s one of those memes that got ironically reversed. And then the ironic version got remembered by everybody and the original got forgotten.

    Like ‘You can’t eat your cake and have it, too’ became a less sensible version.

    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.
