      Think tuna salad, or chicken, or potato.

      Keep adding water. The consistency then divides between broth and soup.

      Roll it in your hand. If you can form a ball with the leftover material you’re likely in soup territory. If there’s nothing left over or there’s not enough consistency to form a ball it’s a broth.

      …If you can form a ribbon with the ball it’s got some noodle content, I guess.

      Nalley Fresh in the US puts broth on greens salad.

      OK, what greens would you like? Summer mix please

      What veggies? green peppers, onion

      What protein? Bacon please.

      What broth? huh?

      What Broth? broth?

      Yeah we have vegetable and chicken and… O.o umm none please…

      Are you sure? uhh ok let’s try chicken?

      It wasn’t horrible, but I never went back, even knowing I could just say no.

        I guess we could make an assumption that water content includes anything as fluid as water. So a nice vinaigrette drowning a bunch of cucumber chunks would be a salad and not a soup.

      They tried something that was 5% noodles, 5% vegetables, and 90% water, and decided that the result was water.

        seems accurate. if i had bucket of water and there was a single pea and a lone noodle floating in it i sure as heck wouldn’t call it soup, or even think that its intentional

          Yeah, it’s like if you get a water flask at a restaurant and they have some lemon or something in it. It’s still water not soup.

          Same idea but vegetables and noodles

            vegetable flavoured water? thinnest of broths? realistically, we call it nothing because what would you even do with something that’s 15% vegetable puree and 85% water? my only idea would be to add more vegetables to make it into something, or to use it as i’d use regular water to boil other vegetables or make pasta in it

              Cucumber water is a thing.

              Realistically, 15% is too high but if the section for water was any shorter the word wouldn’t fit inside.

      Agreed. “Chunky water” type vegetable soup is very different from “thick and gloopy” pumpkin soup

        when I moved from the US to Ireland the first culture shock was going into a pub at 3pm and finding out they weren’t serving really cause it was between lunch and dinner, but he could get me a soup and sandwich.

        he proudly returned with white bread with butter on the inside and two slices of cold ham and one slice of cheddar, and a bowl of warm baby food

            I had never seen something like that before, and if I had it had been called a sauce, not a soup.

            it was like a grey/green pureed glop with the consistency of american apple sauce

            I would have cried myself to sleep, but I was in a 12 bed hostel dorm and 11 of the beds were occupied by participants in a UK kid’s stag/bachelor party. I had come to Ireland to do a masters degree and the interview was the following day. I did not get a good nights sleep I can confirm.

            they took me out like a mascot. if there was a decision to make theyd say “ask the yank, let him decide” so I was the person adjucating major decisions, such as does the groom need to still wear the plastic ball and chain prop his friends had gotten for him, what kind of bottom shelf shot will we do next etc.

            I went to my college interview unable to put on a facade of faux “can do” and “organized” guy and could only do my best to be sincere and answer the panel’s questions as best as I could. I got on the course, and I have a suspicion that if I had gone to the interviews (plural) pretending I was what I thought they wanted instead of being just my authentic self I wouldnt have been accepted to the course.

            anyway I was expecting like noodles or identifiable chunks of stuff. but the soip was warm pureed something. it did compliment the cold ham and cheese slices and the butter 😚👌

    Water = 10% noodles + 10% vegetables + 95% water
    Edit: Oh, you follow the lines, not the triangle boundary

    Water = 5% noodles + 5% vegetables + 90% water

    Coke (the soda) is 90% water.

    Your soup will still be a soup (or a thin broth, at least) at a far higher percentage of water than you think it will.

      Cucumber and lettuce is more water than coke (also Coke is less than 90% water). This chart is all kinds of fucked up. 80% noodles, 20% vegetables and 50% water is noodles?

    Most soups don’t have noodles. This doesn’t work for me.

    Also veggie/water is already soup at like 20%watrr

      It doesn’t mean most soups have noodles, it just means noodle content has a fairly overriding influence on how the, uh, soup is defined.

          Yeah with veggies only and no noodle it stays solidly salad until 50%. The 80/20 veggie-water split is what separates dry salad from salad.

          The noodle content just pushes a salad into a soup with less water content than the soup/broth interface does with salad. So clay of noodle.
