K to 6 grade, 1953 to 1960, never missed Fridays. Chilli, and homemade cinnamon rolls. 25 cents you got milk with it. Rest of week milk 2 cents and brown bag.
Thursday was my favourite day in elementary school, because the soup was my favourite, Mexican tomato noodle. One of lunch ladies also loved it & most of the students didn't, so they would "pass" on the soup & there would be lots of leftovers, which she (the lunch lady) & I would pig out on, while the other kids played softball during the remainder of the lunch hour.
i don't recall us ever having soup for lunch. It would have been easy for me to clean up, but I bet the mess on the cafeteria room floor would have driven them nuts.
Soup or a salad was always a part of our lunches, home-made by the school lunch staff. And I don't recall any messes, but then again, many decades ago & I grew up in a small town.
I don't recall a favorite food, maybe mac & cheese. However, I do remember working in the school cafeteria to pay for my lunch. I found the experience to be very embarrassing since I was in 8th grade at the time (mid 1960s). But I also learned there is no such thing as a free lunch; everything has its cost. This knowledge has stayed with me over the years and still affects my point of view.
That's exactly how I cut Velveeta. We had a bread machine in the 90's to make "homemade" bread and would make velveeta and tomato sandwiches and I thought they were great. Which reminds me of a lunch I think I'll make next week.

Homemade cinnamon rolls! Yum.

It taught me a valuable lesson too.
