@phendrick That fight had never been stopped. It will never be stopped. That fight is the defining feature of our society and our humanity. That fight… is us.
@shahnm Agree on 1. : If you add chicken to your cereal and milk, it is also pie.
Disagree on 2.: As per Wiki a pie is defined by its crust. If the cereal in the milk is heavy it forms a bottom crust and creates a filled pie. If it is light and floats on top, it is a top-crust pie with the fruit, nuts, (or chicken) below it.
@rockblossom With respect, please refrain from citing fly-by-night scam propaganda operators such as Wiki as references. It is well established that the authority on these matters is the “Cube Rule of Food” picture.
@Limewater No. If you accidentally drop the top-crust pie before it goes into the oven, scoop it all up with the crust bits on top and randomly blended into the filling, then bake it, it is a cobbler. A cobbler is a pie, but not usually a soup unless you use too much liquid in the filling.
Unless you used an actual cobbler in the pie filling, then it is a meat pie. Or maybe a cobbler cobbler if it has a broken crust.
A whole roast chicken supplies two dinners and two or more lunches. First a chicken and rice dinner and chicken sandwiches for lunch. Boil the carcass and any left over meat for Kitchen Sink soup for a second dinner and lunch(es). Yes!
@rockblossom The footnote in the accompanying text addresses that issue. A food in which the starch is (or could be) distributed randomly is a salad. Hence a soup is a wet salad.
Spice and heat makes you sweat and sweat cools you down. Think pho in Vietnam, chai in Pakistan or Menudo in Mexico. For that matter… think about all the climates that make GOOD chili; Texas, New Mexico, Old Mexico.
@PocketBrain@unksol I make a bean “soup” and after it’s all cooked, I add rice that sucks up whatever water is left and makes it thick. At this point, it’s probably not qualified to still call it a soup because there’s hardly any liquid left. I sprinkle cheese and eat it with a fork.
@cengland0@PocketBrain I think I call that stew instead of soup but also good. Slightly different than pooring the stock off. You’re still eating it/not loosing the flavor.
i don’t really eat soup to begin with unless i’m ill, so, yes maybe in spring if i got sick. (it’s still in the 30s at night here anyway.) not in the summer, the weather is too hot & sticky even with the a/c. and cold soup isn’t for me.
only exception? clam chowder. (new england style please.) chowder n’ clam cakes are meant to be eaten by the ocean and it’s not as pleasant in the winter. (and some places are seasonal and thus closed then anyway.) idk why i’ll eat that but no other soups, and i don’t see a big difference between soup and other hot foods, but go figure, that’s just how it is for me. years of experience i guess
@jerk_nugget I’ll eat clam chowder all year long period, but that’s cuz I’m in New England (at least I guess that’s why). Also, there is no other type of clam chowder. Otherwise, it should just be called clam soup.
@jerk_nugget@zinimusprime Took me moving out of the midwest and New England for me to have that unpleasant surprise of buying clam chowder that isn’t “real” clam chowder. I learned to look at the picture on the can from there on out, not just the words.
I’ve never heard of soup being purely a seasonal food.
I have a climate controlled eating environment so I can eat hot or cold foods whenever.
@yakkoTDI lucky!
Gazpacho!
@mike808 Gesundheit
@mike808 Gablessyou! Wear a jacket or you’ll catch your death.
@mike808 You got a little on your chin.
@macromeh Get a fork and you can pick out the chunky bits. They’re quite tasty.
Cereal (in milk) is a soup.
@shahnm Don’t start that fight again.
@phendrick That fight had never been stopped. It will never be stopped. That fight is the defining feature of our society and our humanity. That fight… is us.
@shahnm, Of course, it is soup! But if you add fruit it’s pie.
@rockblossom I have to disagree on two fronts:
It is not merely the presence of fruit that makes something a pie. Hence chicken pot…
A pie in its original form is a calzone. A slice of pie becomes a taco. Neither of these is compatible with soup.
@shahnm Agree on 1. : If you add chicken to your cereal and milk, it is also pie.
Disagree on 2.: As per Wiki a pie is defined by its crust. If the cereal in the milk is heavy it forms a bottom crust and creates a filled pie. If it is light and floats on top, it is a top-crust pie with the fruit, nuts, (or chicken) below it.

@rockblossom @shahnm A top-crust pie is a cobbler, right?
@Limewater No. If you accidentally drop the top-crust pie before it goes into the oven, scoop it all up with the crust bits on top and randomly blended into the filling, then bake it, it is a cobbler. A cobbler is a pie, but not usually a soup unless you use too much liquid in the filling.
Unless you used an actual cobbler in the pie filling, then it is a meat pie. Or maybe a cobbler cobbler if it has a broken crust.
@Limewater @rockblossom Nope. Upside-down toast.
@shahnm Toast is always right side up. Sometimes people just butter it on the bottom instead of the top.
@hchavers Damned soup Nazi.
Soup is good food. You may quote me on that.
@ThunderChicken Thank you, Mr Campbell.
Nothing like grilled cheese and soup on a rainy summer day. I’m fine with tomato or chicken noodle, but a good pumpkin flower soup wins.
I eat what I want, when I want. Which is why I am the chubby.
Once in your stomach, everything becomes hot soup. When I eat soup, I just think of it as giving my stomach a head start.
A whole roast chicken supplies two dinners and two or more lunches. First a chicken and rice dinner and chicken sandwiches for lunch. Boil the carcass and any left over meat for Kitchen Sink soup for a second dinner and lunch(es). Yes!
Cold soup? No.
Take it away and bring it back hot.
@QuietDelusions GAZPACHO SOOOOOOUP
Soup is good food
Zero soup. I do not enjoy feeling like a fish bowl for hours after a meal.

I don’t like it in the summer. Too hot. But I crave it all winter long. Conversely, I have no interest in salad until the weather warms up.
@Fuzzalini Soup is a wet salad:
@shahnm Like the Romans and their numerals, your cube rule is missing a zero. Zero sides = keto.
@rockblossom The footnote in the accompanying text addresses that issue. A food in which the starch is (or could be) distributed randomly is a salad. Hence a soup is a wet salad.
I’m not going to list the whole recipe, but tzatziki thinned with broth or milk makes a really refreshing cold soup.
Spice and heat makes you sweat and sweat cools you down. Think pho in Vietnam, chai in Pakistan or Menudo in Mexico. For that matter… think about all the climates that make GOOD chili; Texas, New Mexico, Old Mexico.
Too hot for soup is bunk.
Never soup. Too liquidy so takes too much effort to consume calories. Drain the water and eat the rest of the contents with a fork.
@cengland0
It’s stock, not water. And you should drink it, not waste it.
@PocketBrain what percentage of water is in that stock?
@cengland0 @PocketBrain depends on how long you simmer your stock obviously. Mines basically gelatin when refrigerated. Thins it a little when heated.
@PocketBrain @unksol I make a bean “soup” and after it’s all cooked, I add rice that sucks up whatever water is left and makes it thick. At this point, it’s probably not qualified to still call it a soup because there’s hardly any liquid left. I sprinkle cheese and eat it with a fork.
@cengland0 @PocketBrain I think I call that stew instead of soup but also good. Slightly different than pooring the stock off. You’re still eating it/not loosing the flavor.
@cengland0
More than half. Two thirds of a human being is water; does that make you soup?
@unksol that’s how i make mine, too. this is the way.
fall/winter/spring Those rainy windy 50deg spring days are soup weather.

That was a late night word association thing. You listed seasons and this popped into my head.
“Winter Spring Summer or Fall…”
i don’t really eat soup to begin with unless i’m ill, so, yes maybe in spring if i got sick. (it’s still in the 30s at night here anyway.) not in the summer, the weather is too hot & sticky even with the a/c. and cold soup isn’t for me.

@zinimusprime yes, you understand!!
@jerk_nugget @zinimusprime Took me moving out of the midwest and New England for me to have that unpleasant surprise of buying clam chowder that isn’t “real” clam chowder. I learned to look at the picture on the can from there on out, not just the words.
If it’s not from a Chines restaurant or a cold soup-
Winter or Fall only!
Just had potato soup for lunch. Now I have thirty minutes to sit here and think about it before going back to work.
I make a great pasta fazool.
