I am so angry that I have developed an allergy to carrots... so many, many good soups that I simply cannot eat anymore... welp, I'm using Cajun Holy Trinity instead of Mirepoix now so some things work, but a good root-vegetable stew is simply not the same without carrots.
Oh HT is definitely a step down from mirepoix, but beggars can't be choosers and my irritable bowel is very angry with carrots. I have no idea how poblano tastes, I have never found those in Germany. I usually substitute green bellpepper with red banana pepper and use three parts onion, one part celery and one part pepper.
My belly is happy with those as aromatics and if I use just a little garlic, enough bay leaves and some dried juniper berries a soup or stew with some meats still gets a very rounded flavour profile.
Poblano is an ancho before you dry it. A little heat, great flavor. They make excellent stuffed peppers (there's a Mexican food name for that but I forget)
I disagree with your beggars cannot be choosers. Sounds like you did the "I hate gut problems but love deliciousness too much thing" I did and taught yourself how to cook (well).
It's surprising how much carrot shows up in everything. You only eat homemade soups too? (my trigger is chicken don't tell anyone my secret weakness, so all those chicken broths are not fun for me)

Dark gods yes! I used to eat carrots daily as a young man and I miss the taste of it, but Goddam it's impossible to get away from. It's a cheap filler so it's in every frikking ready-to-eat meal and most salads, it somehow shows up in currys and in sweet & sour sauces, both places where carrot originally should not show up. I'm lucky I don't react to carrotin because that's used as red food coloring everywhere.
So yes, I had to resort to making my own soups and stocks. It's a good thing I have always enjoyed cooking because it's become a necessity just to avoid daily cramping and diarrhea, because practically every other soup is made with carrots, at least in the broth. I imagine it's similar with chicken broth. (Which I also usually stay away from, because it's often based on a vegetable broth).
So soup is both a type of soup and a category of food, that category being soup. Chowder is a soup but not all soup is chowder, some soup is just soup, or stew
i tend to go by the original definition. chili with no beans is a texas thing. chili that is more than just meat and peppers (you know, made by people who know how to cook) is an everywhere else thing. but chili is mexican, not texan so i tend to go by la definición más deliciosa.
USA, but we’ve moved everywhere for work/family and living situation reasonings. Now in Europe. Though even while living in Texas for a year, chili has beans there too except for hot dog chili

How does one classify soups? Is it a beef soup because it is made with beef stock?
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 103d
I call it soup instead of stew because it's liquid, I haven't thickened it!
ashenone@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 103d
Stews are thicker than soups but not as thick as a chowder. If there's more meat/veggies/beans than liquid then it's a chili
threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 103d
Wait, chowder isn't a type of soup?

The bathwater makes the bath. The soupwater makes the soup.

It contains exactly one beef, and is otherwise soup.
