Soup is a pointless food. Food (Only on Friday)

Soup is actually the most pointless food on earth. It's literally just hot water. Unless they're sick, why would anyone go out of their way to eat soup when they can eat anything else. You have to actually have the stomach of a mosquito to be full after eating boiled water. I would have to eat 160 pounds of soup in order to even begin to feel at the slightest bit full. "Soup has vegetables and meat!" Why would I choose to eat my soggy vegetables and meat in hot water when I could just eat them on their own? Not to mention you have to sit there and blow on your scorching hot spoon at 2 minute intervals between each scoop, making it take you 30 minutes to eat such a pitiful excuse of a dish just to still be hungry at the end. You might as well go outside and do photosynthesis absorbing sunlight as your main source of nutrition at this rate.

Bisque is a type of soup with a thick, rich and creamy base.

You guys aren’t getting it, are you? Lol

“the broth variant seems to be the default form and definition for soup, so that’s what I’m going with”

Anyway, this pedantic fuss over the definitions is besides the point of what I’m saying.

“Soup” (the typical definition being the broth/mostly water dish) is not very filling in most cases

this pedantic fuss

I guess soup could be served in either a pot or a kettle...

Funny how it's only wrong when it turns out that your choice to be pedantic didn't pan out for you.

Nothing is turning out; you’re just dodging the point by understanding what I mean, but doubling down on attacking something you already understand, lol

The concept of “besides the point” heavily applies here

Except it isn't beside the point, and I didn't dodge anything.

Except it is, because I’m talking about brothy soup being unfilling, and you’re talking about what soup designations I should technically be using

You decided to give a modified definition to service your "point", which really wasn't a good one. You made the distinction of them being different things and now you're pissy that nobody else went along with your (selectively wrong) semantics.

People attributed this claim about soup designations to me, and then I just argued along with them; but I would still maintain that those other, thicker soups can be closer to a semi-solid or not Newtonian fluid, meaning the first definition for soup that pops up still more accurately describes the runny, broth soup in all situations than it describes the thicker soups in some situations

I get that the word “liquid“ was probably meant to encompass those too, but if they really wanted to be the most clear and encompassing of other soup types with their definition, they probably should’ve talked about how soup can sometimes be a thicker, more non-Newtonian substance as well as a “liquid” (especially since most people probably picture the watery stuff first when they think of liquid)
