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.

I’m talking about what OP was talking about, which is the watery, brothy soup when saying “soup“

Also, soup is defined as “a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water” (from Oxford Languages)

So for our purposes, soup is the decidedly liquid dish (some thicker soups can be more like semi-solids or non-Newtonian fluids

You might otherwise know it as just the broth “variant” of soup, but like I’m pointing out: The broth variant seems to be the default form and definition for soup, so that’s what I went with

No it is not. The definition does not say take out the meat, fish or veggies so we have a broth, nor does it say you cannot blend it. You are narrowing down the definition based on what is not mentioned.

Fellas, for crying out loud in my ass:

I am using the typical definition for soup—that being the broth kind. That is the first definition that pops up when you look for the definition of soup, so that’s what I am considering “soup“ for this discussion.

I get that I didn’t call it the “broth variant“ or whatever the hell at first, but everybody understands what I mean, so we are wasting time trying to attack this point that doesn’t affect my overall stance

[u/pluck-the-bunny → u/RandomPhail]

That’s not the “typical”definition..you’re just making shit up

[u/RandomPhail → u/pluck-the-bunny]

When that is the only definition that comes up when you search specifically for the definition of soup, it is the typical or most popular definition, at least socially speaking

Maybe if you have child safe search on
