Soup Vs. Stew

[Mayne]

Can someone explain why someone would rather have soup over stew? I like meat chunks, it makes me feel like I'm surviving somehow, albeit slowly but atleast i know i got some protein.

It's hard to dip your grilled cheese in stew.

I didn't think of the dipping consequences.

Just about 5 minutes ago I chopped up the rest of the Ham from Thanksgiving and stuck a big bone with ham in there and leftover ham fat in a Crock Pot with Great Northern Beans.

Soup beans and ham with corn bread is one of my favorite things. Going to let those cook a nice long time on low.

soup can have chunks of meat too

clam chowder, vegetable beef etc

I've eaten barley soup for 3 days straight. I keep thinking the barley chunks are meat

Does it matter? Eat whatever you want.

A proper stew has enough liquid for dunking bread.


A soup is an appetizer, a stew is a meal. You have soup + main course, you would not have a stew before a steak, but you could have a soup before a steak.

Eat whatever keeps you alive. Problem solved.

That is neither a soup nor a stew. Our Noodly Master resides in a category all his own.

Ramen!


And damn it, now I'm hungry. I can't look at spaghetti, meatballs and garlic bread without wanting some.

you don't wear a colander and worship some spaghetti god?

soup is a starter, stew is a main course.

soup is a starter, stew is a main course.

A soup has a thinner broth. A stew has a thicker broth. Both potentially can have the same basic ingredients and neither can really be a main course.

...

 

[Gooberlx2]

and neither can really be a main course

Pffft. A thick stew with vegetables and meat and served in a bread bowl is more than plenty for a main course.

I didnt know there was a difference between soup and stew.

 

[BoomerD]

USUALLY...stew is vegetables and meat, cut into larger chunks with a thicker gravy-like broth.

Soup is vegetables and often meat, cut into smaller chunks with a much thinner broth.

I like both...but prefer stew. (served over a nice, big bowl of rice.)

Mayne, I'm not sure the difference between stew and soup... But I can tell you the difference between Jam and Jelly.

Your mom also knows the difference very well, too. I told her alllll about it the other night.

Look, you Canadian, there is such a thing as an eating utensil and for this we call it a spoon. Simply turn your limp-GCS horizontally and spoon some stew on top. It ain't hard, much like you GCS. :biggrin:

 

[waggy]

well now i want stew

Like a third of the world has meals that are entirely based around a soup/stew of some sort.
