Spanish term or phrase: sopa tibia
Is there an attractive way of saying "sopa tibia"?

I don't really like lukewarm or tepid as neither sound appetising in English, or is it acceptable to talk about "lukewarm soup"?? Any ideas? TIA.

Thanks, Xenia. I have just realised that they probably only mentioned "tibia" on the menu because Gazpacho also figured, so I guess they wanted to make the point that it wasn't a cold soup. Somehow, I forgot the option of simply "warm"! Thanks to all.

agree  Margaret Schroeder: Judy, depending on the context (mentioned in a sentence? menu item?) you may also be able to work some variation on "not hot".
