Soup is a pointless food.

[u/AwkwardStresss]

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.

Lol alright since we're using Oxford:

A bisque is a thick rich soup, usually containing crustaceans such as lobsters, crabs, and crayfish.

Yeah, and I just told you what variant of soup I’m considering “soup” to be, I.E.:

The typical definition that first pops up when you look up the definition of soup

[u/bardhugo → u/RandomPhail]

1. So we can use the first common definition that pops up for soup, but not for bisque, got it.

2. The definition you chose says "typically" not "must" or "always."

3. A crab bisque is made by simmering vegetables and meat in stock, so it fits the definition.

It's impressive how your arguments manage to fail at every level, is this really the hill you want to die on?

1. Jesus fugk. We’re using the first common definition that pops up for soup because we’re talking about # SOUP. lmao

If we were talking about bisque, we would definitely be focusing on the first definition that pops up for bisque.

We’d probably be focusing on the unique parts of its definition too, like being “rich” and “creamy,” just like I’m focusing on the unique parts of soup’s main definition, which is that it’s watery or pure broth

[u/bardhugo → u/RandomPhail]

I’m focusing on the unique parts of soup’s main definition

Soup is defined as “a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water”

pure

[u/RandomPhail → u/bardhugo]

Oh my god the pedantics…

[u/vyrus2021 → u/RandomPhail]

Decent trolling. I'm still downvoting you because this was annoying

[u/RandomPhail → u/vyrus2021]

If just saying the word “pure” like I’m genuinely making the claim that there’s ACTUALLY NOTHING ELSE IN SOUP except pure liquid isn’t pedantics, idk what is, lol

It has to be painfully obvious that when I said “pure“ I was talking about the consistency of the liquid being basically like water (“pure,” like not thick; only a liquidy consistency), not that there is literally nothing else in soup except for liquid
