    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.

    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.

            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.

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

                  Making soup and then dumping out the soup seems like a very stupid way to make soup.

                  Maybe they feel better from not eating all of those simple, delicious calories.

                            Please stop boiling broccoli.

                            Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.

                            We usually steam it or bake it with some olive oil, but I still boil it occasionally. I don't have a steamer for my little pot~

                                My brother-in-law considers it frankly offensive that there's an actual thing called "New England boiled dinner." My sister and I love it, but he can't get past the name.

                                  Acceptable.

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

                                    I had to look it up…

                                    A New England boiled dinner is a traditional, one-pot comfort food that originated in the northeastern US. The dish typically includes corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, all boiled together in water to create a broth. Other root vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, or parsnips can be added. The corned beef is cooked until tender, and the root vegetables become so soft they can be cut with a spoon. The dish requires little attention and no extra seasoning

                                    🤦🏼‍♀️
