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

    Please stop boiling broccoli.

    Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.

        Blanching it for 60 seconds and then shocking it in ice water is a great middle ground. Then let it dry and sear it in a hot pan with some olive oil and garlic. Add butter if you are feeling naughty.

          Acceptable.

          I'm just having flashbacks of squishy broccoli from my childhood. No child should ever have to go through what I did.

            I'm honored, truly. I try my best 🥹

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

              Yeah that's what I was going for, I was to lazy to type my "sister/brother in christ" so I figured sibling was the best way to get both women and men along with any enbys.

              Happy Pride, people 🌈

                      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.

                      Depends on the bisque or chowder.

                      I think the best way to describe the difference is just a higher liquid to solid ratio.

                          I think it's more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.

                          The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

                            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 wouldn't call it stock, but Italians do indeed use pasta water in many of their sauces. Makes sense because it's basically just starchy water, which helps to bind the sauce.

                            That said, you generally don't need more than one or two cups of it, the rest is still thrown out.

                              Don't forget the chayote; certain gourds are perfect for stewing!

                                How many lentils do you have to put in a lentil soup until it becomes a stew?

                                Edit: In my mother tongue "thick soup" is an alternative term for stew, even though a rare/regional one.

                                    Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:

                                    There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.

                                    But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.

                                    I did not argue that. I was just pointing out a funny edge case in the previous poster's argument.

                                    That said, even actual vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes are often boiled in water without the intention of making soup.

                                          If you want to do "water based cooking" for vegetables try steaming instead of boiling.
