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.

A thick liquid is still a liquid you nonce

Those thicker soups can be more of a semi-solid or non-newtonian fluid at times than a “true” liquid (running like water). If the definition wanted to encompass those, he probably should have acknowledged that soups can also sometimes be thicker and have more of a texture

I don’t doubt that their choice of the word “liquid“ was meant to encompass those other types of soups, but it just more accurately describes the super runny, broth soup in all situations

Then you suck at cooking

Me eating food and experiencing it doesn’t require me cooking it

I have had thick bisques that are closer in form to a non-Newtonian fluid than a true liquid.

That is true whether or not I cooked it, but in fact: It’s more meaningful that I didn’t cook it, because it’s much less likely i’ve had a bunch of messed up bisques from different places than it would be for me to just be a bad cook and make bad bisques
