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?
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.
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.
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)
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.
If you actually experience potato soup as drinking mashed potatoes, even somewhat, you have some sort of miss-wiring in your brain for preprocessing senses.
I don't put potato soup in my mouth at all because I respect potatoes too much, so my experience of potato soup is as little as possible.
It's the other guy who tried to somehow make his potato soup sound appealing by calling it "weird mashed potato when cold", which may be the worst possible combination of words in the English language and several others.
Yeah I have read the other comments you make, you are a troll, if not you really, really, do have sensory issues, maybe not diagnosed. If you see no difference between ketchup and marinara, etc., your body isn't doing something correctly.
Nothing false about it. You figure out the difference between marinara, gazpacho and a bloody mary and then report back on the falsehood.
I don't put cream soups in my mouth, but I have family members who do, and I have reused pumpkin and carrot creams as pasta sauces with no modifications multiple times. I can defend this with a perfectly straight face and I can spell the name of the fallacy I'm not using.
Marinara is a sauce made primarily with tomatoes, cooked down to the desired thickness. Usually dark, well cooked and rich. Gazpacho is a chilled soup made with raw vegetables, blended together. Tomato is usually used as a base but it's not always the main ingredient. You can make lots of different gazpachos. A bloody Mary is a cocktail made with straight tomato juice, no cooking or blending involved. You would not toss your pasta in this, unless you were an alcoholic that liked to eat disgusting pasta.
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.
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".

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

Some soup is also pretty good cold.

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

Gazpacho in the summer is worthwhile.

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.

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

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.

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 pts · 339d
You're not making a soup by just dropping shit in a glass though lol

I prefer cream soups: gross gloopy when cold, delicious soup when hot.
MudMan@fedia.io · 0 pts · 340d
If you like cream soups you don't get to make gross faces when somebody starts drinking ketchup directly out of the bottle.
You can't just heat up a sauce and tell people that's the whole meal. That should be against the rules.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 9 pts · 340d
I promise you my potato soup is not a sauce.
It's a cream soup and it's essentially weird mashed potato when cold.
You're characterizing a whole spectrum with one terrible example.
MudMan@fedia.io · 2 pts · 340d
And you just told me you're drinking mashed potatoes.
I think one of us has chosen a terrible example, but it's not me.
