Undeadpopart, follow the advice given and if those around you find it odd, be secure in knowing that you are following traditional etiquette associated with the cuisine and those who find it odd are ignorant.

Lol I think you need to concentrate more on your own food if you're watching other people eat and their etiquette. I have never seen any astonished looks or whispered comments anywhere in the United States. If you're getting those looks then maybe it's something else besides whether you're drinking your soup with a spoon or not
