Pot Smoke Phoenix: Smoke 'em if you gottem!

A driver in a truck loaded with cases of Campbell's Chunky Soup gets lost and backs up to get back on the highway. The driver makes a mistake, the truck slides down into a lake, where all the cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup are floating in the lake, bobbing up and down.

Is this a soup of soups? Is it a soup^soup?

So like the universe is the bowl
and then the galaxy is the broth
and the solar system is the dumpling
and the planets are all the tasty ground meat inside
and we're all just ingredients in that ground meat.

It can become one, if you put it in a burg bun.

Perhaps chili (or even cereal) is a thing which can take on the properties of either a soup or a sandwich, depending on the situation, and how the thing is observed.

If I pour some chunky soup through a strainer, how much broth can I strain out before it is no longer "soup"?

Then is it your opinion that chili is a soup?

I agree, like all stew chili is just viscous soup.

As the word doesn't get a lot of use, I often misread "viscous" as "vicious" the first time around, and yes, chili definitely can be both.

canyoneer: I only have canyoneyes for you

Here's some English etymology I learned in an MBA course to help explain it.
In the old days, the most experienced and trusted person at a farm or workplace was in charge of settling disputes and making decisions about what was or was not soup. Originally they were called the "soup king", but the monarch didn't like that anyone else was being called a king. It was changed to "soup vizier", which eventually got shortened to "soupvizier" and then anglicized as "supervisor", and that name stuck.

I, el dorito, after consultation with my advisors, declare that chili can be a soup.

You'll get more flavor from the wooden spoon than from dry bay leaves. If you aren't freshly molesting the bay bush, then you aren't a real soupier.

Molesting The Bay Bush is certainly not the best entry in the loving the Forest franchise but it's still worth a watch anyway. If nothing else it acts as a primer to the next three films in the series: Kissing The Creek, Fingering The Fern, and Rimming The Rock.

There are no real soups. True Soup is a Platonic ideal; in reality there are merely wet chunks.

Again, broth is an ideal state that cannot truly exist. The chunks are very small, it's a trick of perception.

This universe is but light and shadow, warm and cold liquid foods alternating on the umwelt of the perceiving creatures' tongues, who beg the heavens "is it soup" and must learn for themselves, "no".

You see the chunks as a solid mass but that itself is a lie, it is a soup of atoms. An atomic soup making up parts of a larger soup that constitutes mere "chunks" of an even larger soup and so on unto infinity.
