does /ck/ consider soup a proper meal?

>> No.8855614

if you're not a chubchub, sure. needs a side of multi grain toast though

>> No.8855727

Yes.

It can be, but it isn't necessarily. It depends on the serving size and the ingredients.

It leaves me unsatisfied texturally

It kind of depends

Sometimes I like to have a thin, rich soup like chicken and gnocchi, but only as an appetizer. I suppose if you ate enough, it would be a meal.

Beef stew is a meal. I don't know if I've ever had beef stew as an appetizer.

Most people like a hunk of bread with soup (at least most white, red-blooded, high test American males do), are you counting that? Or at least some crackers?

Yeah.
Why not?

It depends

A small bowl can be an appetizer, a big bowl is a meal

Yes, but only for fatasses

Soup is way too high in fat content, which gives people obesity and horrible gross acne

You should go to /k/ with your shitty bait, it's the easiest board to troll, here at /ck/ we're more smartestr.

Absolutely soup can be a meal. Soups like minestrone are designed to be just that. Yellow split pea soup is the traditional Thursday night meal in Sweden.

But light soups also make a good first course in more elaborate meals.

I think the prejudice some folks have against soup as a meal comes from soup kitchens that feed the poor. Some folks equate soup as a meal with being poor or destitute. They think they should never have soup as a complete meal because they're not poor. This was more common a generation or two ago in the US, when you still had people walking around who remembered the Great Depression and WWII. It's less of a thing today.

Some soups do contain fat.

For example, any soup cooked on a roux will contain fat from the roux. I.e. gumbo.

Soups containing cream (chowder, bisque) will obviously contain dairy fat, as will those that contain a lot of cheese. Soups cooked with coconut milk (many Indian and SEA soups) will also have fat too.

Tonkotsu ramen broth is very fatty since it's basically a fat-water emulsion. Some types of this have a very thick layer of fat floating on top of the broth.

If you're concerned about too much fat in your soup, eat broth or stock based soups instead. I suggest an Italian Wedding soup, but go light on the cheese.

I'm not. The fat content doesn't bother me one bit. I was simply pointing out that some soups do in fact contain fat.

Uhm, thanks. Glad I could help, I guess? I thought I was merely stating the obvious.

If its a thin, watery stock soup, then its essentially like drinking a salty tea. In this case it isn't a meal.

If its chunky, stew-like, or thickened, or the consistency is like a soupy puree, then yes its a meal.
