Since Flayed now has a new least favorite thread due no doubt to the nefarious machinations of the one called Festered, I decided that the time has come to give HDC a rainbow and sunshine enema by bringing back what we all know to be Flayed's favorite thread. There hasn't been a whole lot of soup talk on HDC lately due to its deeply controversial nature but I'll do my best to breach this topic with sensitivity, wit and eroticism.
So, here it is:
I've been making a lot of chili lately, being a broke small press novelist and all, tossing hamburger, tomatoes, beans and sundry peppers into a pot and creating three days of protein rich meals makes a lot of sense. I have noticed that some people consider chili a soup, while for others it's either a stew or kind of its own thing entirely. Is chili soup? What chili tricks do you prefer? Is the sloppy joe, (which bears a striking resemblance to chili in certain ways) soup on a bun or is this too much of a stretch! DISCUSS!

It's like a plastic Halloween pumpkin basket full of rape.

I'm choosing to assume that statement was on topic.

Chilli is not a soup. A liquid tomato base is not enough to qualify chilli as a soup. It's a stew. Anyone who tells you Chilli is a soup is lying and most likley has an anti-stew agenda.

Also, Cheddar & Broccoli soup is good. :cool:

This one's easy. My mother's homemade chili & vegetable soup(s).

I really like taking Bob's Red Mill,vegie soup mix and a can of stewed tomatoes,and heating them up together you add a some water

next time I make it I'll try to remember and put up a pic. of what the finished product looks like.

Soup is overrated, I can honesty say there's not a single kind I really like.

Still much the same.
I also do a very nice chicken soup with around 40 ingredients...though it's not something I really want to type up.

Also, since I like this thread and it came to mind:
Snapper soup. Not that much into bisque or many other seafood based soups, I mean they're ok and all, but for me, a well done Snapper soup is fuckin' outta this world.

I made a homemade soup with red beans, black beans, veggies and about 20 herbs and spices.
I have been really digging starting most of my soups lately with some type of bean...you can go in so many directions just starting with a basic bean.

And I am thinking of starting some chicken stock with a entire fresh chicken instead of buying the canned stuff...never did this before so as with all soups or dishes started completely with fresh ingredients-the taste should be outstanding.

I am adding some meat into our diet even though I hate touching dead meat:D
