Wait until you find out about fishing.

Soups are one of my favorite things to make.

Rustic veggie soups, different kinds of chili (yes I consider chili a type of soup), blended soups, soups with noodles in em, ramen (yes, it's soup), stews, bean soups... It's all good.

If you hate soup, you're weird. Get real.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Bean soup? That's a thing? I'll rabbit hole the shit out of that. My favourites are pumpkin soups. And since it's pumpkin season, i'm over the moon.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

A pumpkin is too easy to find in the soup. There's no challenge.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 days ago

Beans soup, chickpeas soup, lentil soup, they are all amazing.

My favorite is beans and sauerkraut soup and Ukrainian borstch

[–] cannon_annon88@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah! Look up white bean soup or navy bean soup, those are the classics. I was just spit balling though - my favorite thing about soup is you can put whatever the heck you want in there.

Edit to add: Pumpkin soups are totally awesome too! One of the best ones I ever had was pumpkin soup filled with chunks of seafood and served in a roasted pumpkin. At first I was like "seafood, pumpkin? Blegh." But then I tasted it and I was like "oh damn".

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the food also flavors the water, and sometimes a mildly food-flavored hot water is a really great thing to have

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some soup is also pretty good cold.

[–] Phunter@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I prefer my soup cleansed by fire. I've yet to enjoy a cold soup.

Gazpacho in the summer is worthwhile.

Not everyone needs to enjoy everything. Or maybe you just havent had the good shit.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Hate soup.

If you spilled that much water over my plate of pasta in a restaurant I'd send it back and nobody would question it.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Makes me think of noodle soup or just noodles with a lot of water. I prefer them that way, the tasty water is the best part

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

I am 100% not joking, this sentence made me queasy.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s kind of hard to get a read on your comments here. You keep referring to soup as water, but broth does not taste like water, so it’s difficult to tell if you’re joking—it doesn’t seem like it though.

Do you just not like the liquid texture? Do you like any type of sauce?

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I mean, I'm joking in that I'm not mad that you guys like soup. You put whatever you want in your mouth, I'm not here to kink shame.

But I do legitimately hate soups and creams in (almost) all forms. I don't understand how someone can grab a liquid in a spoon with chunks of floating meat and carbs in it, put it in their mouth and not be repulsed by what's going on there. It's just immediate gag reflex for me.

The weird exception to the rule is ramen, which I can do more or less fine because it's sort of at the edge of what my brain will process as a sauce rather than a soup. With the caveats that I do that by eating what's in the ramen and then either discarding or filtering the broth through my teeth, and that if given the choice to have a dry ramen I will do that 100% of the time.

Honestly, I was going to write "process as a runny sauce" up there instead and I could feel my throat tightening up. It's just not cool. I have eaten insects, molluscs, mold and the testicles of multiple animals. All delicious. I will eat tripe if done correctly, tongue if sliced thinly and I've tolerated a blob of solid fat just to say I had tried it.

Can't do soup, won't do soup, don't understand how this is not a more widespread thing.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I really appreciate the earnest response. I agree: everything is subjective to our own tastes. Makes sense if you just don’t like certain things. My girlfriend loves ramen without broth, so that also totally tracks for me.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I presume you have no issue drinking water. Do you have trouble with othet drinks? Drinks with ice? Cocktails with olives? Etc. (You can see where I'm going, where is the line)

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

Well, ramen is the line, apparently.

No, I don't have problem with ice or olives. Those don't go in your mouth unless you put them there.

If you want to wrap your head around this, here's a clear distinction: Cereal is ok, but if a cookie gets soggy, breaks and falls into a glass of milk then that glass of milk is fully spoiled, can't be salvaged and has to be thrown away.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll say you didn't have good soup yet.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You are probably correct, because I will go way out of my way to have my meatballs the normal way instead of at the bottom of a pool of dirty water.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dirty water? Lmao who cooked for you

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's hard to keep water clean when you put meatballs inside it.

To flip my original post, if you dropped that much meat into my glass of water I'd send it back and nobody would question me.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're not making a soup by just dropping shit in a glass though lol

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And yet the end result is still wet meatballs.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago
[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'll feed you meatballs at the bottom of a pool of dirty water 😏

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean, buy me a proper dry dinner first, at least...

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Just not soup, I guess.

This sounds so erotic

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Someone hasn't tried sloppy steaks at Truffoni's

Soup was probably designed by raccoons.

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I heard that in the tune of "Turn down for what."

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 1 week ago (11 children)

I prefer cream soups: gross gloopy when cold, delicious soup when hot.
