    I know it's overused but cliches are cliche for a reason, so I love it when people say "So close!" and then make fun of someone for saying some braindead shit.

    Also reminds me of some stupid ad I saw for expensive ass chlorophyll powder packets to put in your water. My sibling in christ, eat a fucking salad with spinach if you want chlorophyll.

        I read in popular science that it might be possible to use a variety of different kinds of gases to carry heat, or perhaps some kind of radiant heat or even radio waves to cook food. But sadly this fantastic technology is still just fiction. I hope I get to see a form of cooking that doesn't involve immersing food in hot liquid. I wonder what it would taste like.

        radiant heat

        So some kind of nonconductive heat? How would that even work?
        I will stick with putting the pot in the fire.

          It's not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

          The alternative, btw, would be to fry everything in butter or some plant oil, i believe. That's what they're opposing.

          Then it's a waste of vitamines.

            Not even good soup. Real soups use some kind of broth to give a lot of base flavor.

              So... boiled vegetables. That's still already a thing. Not a particularly good thing (to my tastes), but been a thing for a long time.

              We are not talking about a specific food here, but about a way to prepare food. It does not matter what you cook - meat, vegetables, whatever. It's about cooking it in water instead of sharp oil-based cooking.

              And no, it is not new at all.

                      If you're throwing out the pasta water, you're wasting some very good stock to make the sauce you'll put on said pasta.

                        I mean, I definitely boil things like broccoli or potatoes and drain the water after. Not every meal calls for soup.

                          It's not new and also nobody calls it "water based cooking" because that's stupid.

                                    Tbh I probably saw someone else say it before and just used it myself.

                                      Stew is thicker and chunkier. Generally made by slowly braising a big ole hunk of otherwise inediblely tough meat for a long time in some kinda liquid. Soup is generally thinner with little bits of whatever the fuck you have laying around tossed in to a broth or stock.

                                      Chili is a stew. A bisque or chowder is a soup.

                                        During the siege of Leningrad they actually did have to resort to cooking in machine oil, among other awful things. Of course they were almost all women, because the men were fighting the war
