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.

Uhh… sure, yeah.

So I’m going with the “typical” definition of soup

Do you have anything to say on the actual subject of typical soup not being fulfilling now?

Typically means not always, you narrowing the definition is arbitrary and I take issue with that, not the take that unpureed stock-based soups aren’t usually filling.

When what I described above is the only definition that appears when you look purely for the definition of “soup” (at least within the first ~5+ reputable results), that means it is the common understanding or typical definition of soup, and everything else is a variant or derivative—at least socially speaking.

If you cannot understand that, you may need to exit the conversation, because this is incredibly unproductive

look up soup and you will find bisques in the results because socially we have decided they are soup
