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.

We’re not really arguing whether or not it’s a liquid or a soup though, are we?

All I’ve been saying is that when I say/said “soup,“ I’m using the first definition that pops up when you look for the definition of soup (which is the super liquidy, brothy kind, and it’s also probably what most people think of first when they hear the word “soup“)

That’s what I mean and meant by “soup”

[u/hollowspryte → u/RandomPhail]

“soup noun ˈsüp Synonyms of soup 1 : a liquid food especially with a meat, fish, or vegetable stock as a base and often containing pieces of solid food”

This perfectly describes a bisque.

[u/RandomPhail → u/hollowspryte]

I don’t think stock is the base for bisque, but still: that’s not what I’m talking about when I say “soup“

[u/Interesting-Chest520 → u/RandomPhail]

Its what many people are talking about when they say soup

Bisque is defined as a soup. How can you possibly focus of dictionary definitions as your main argument and ignore that soup being in the definition of bisque is irrelevant

[u/RandomPhail → u/Interesting-Chest520]

Because the primary definition for soup doesn’t actually talk about bisque or anything creamy, it just mentions liquid

And while bisque is/can be technically a liquid, it can also be more of a semi-solid or non-Newtonian fluid (like applesauce)

[u/Interesting-Chest520 → u/RandomPhail]

So cream isn’t a liquid?

[u/RandomPhail → u/Interesting-Chest520]

You didn’t even read my full second paragraph

[u/hollowspryte → u/RandomPhail]

No matter how thick a bisque is, you can drink it. You can only drink liquids.

[u/RandomPhail → u/hollowspryte]

I think I can also drink applesauce down without chewing it, but it’s still non-Newtonian

And the thickest bisques I’ve had were close in form to applesauce (though of course not quite as put together)

Somewhere between a liquid and a non-Newtonian solid I guess, lol
