Is soup a meal

[Baler]

The age long debate, Is soup a meal?

Bisque is soup but it isn't a meal.

Ate this clam chowder from scratch from this fancy joint nearby. It was definitely a meal.

Great way to lose weight is with homemade broths, stocks. Spinach. And some whole grains. Vegetables. Maybe a little tofu or some oxtail. If u need the iron.

No

I consider it a meal if its a nice soup with some oyster crackers and cheese on top. Works for me.

Kenny : You worn the suit yet?

Jerry Seinfeld : No, not yet.

Waiter : [the waiter comes up] Have you decided?

Kenny : Oh, get the swordfish. Best swordfish in the city. The best, Jerry.

Jerry Seinfeld : I'll have the salmon.

Waiter : And you?

Kenny : Ahh, you know what I think. I'm just going to have soup. Yeah, I'll save the meal for another time.

Jerry Seinfeld : Another time? What other time?

Kenny : I had a hot dog earlier. I'm not that hungry.

Jerry Seinfeld : No, no, Bania, no. This is the dinner. The soup counts.

Kenny : Soup's not a meal. You're supposed to buy me a meal.

Jerry Seinfeld : I'm not stopping you from eating. Go ahead and eat. Get anything you want.

Kenny : I don't want anything but soup.

Jerry Seinfeld : Then that's the meal.

Kenny : But I had the hot dog.

Jerry Seinfeld : I didn't tell you to have a hot dog. Who told you to have a hot dog?

Kenny : Hey, I give you a brand-new Armani suit, and you won't even buy me a meal?

Jerry Seinfeld : All right, fine. Get the soup!

Soup isn't a meal, and if you can't be polite in line... Come back, 1 year.

As long as there is bread and salad

As long as there is bread and salad

That's pretty fair.

Various militaries seem to be of the opinion that, yes, soup is in fact a meal or part of one and ready to eat.

It takes skill to slice bread so thin that its translucent.

Yes, soup is definitely a meal. I love soup! I have very specific eating habits. I like borscht, mushroom cream soup like in the IKEA, and french onion soup with coffee.

I think you have never heard of the latter. So catch the recipe, try it on the weekend. He's really delicious!

Recipe:
1) 6 medium onions (sweet onions are best)
2) 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 4 sprigs of fresh thyme)
3) 1 teaspoon salt
4) 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
5) 2 tablespoons butter
6) 8 ounces mild brown ale (like Newcastle)
7) 16 ounces unfiltered apple juice
8) 32 ounces brewed coffee (https://www.coffee-statistics.com/best-french-roast-coffee/) (like Ethiopia Kemgin)
9) 1 1/4 tablespoons mushroom base (better than bouillon)
10) 2 bay leaves
11) 1 baguette, sliced
12) 4 slices Swiss cheese

1. Slice the onions thinly and add them to a heavy soup pot on medium high. Add the butter, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir often while the onions reduce and caramelize (about 35 to 45 minutes). The darker the onions become, the more flavor they will impart.

2. Add the brown ale to deglaze the pan and let the onions reduce again until there is no visible liquid.

3. Add the apple juice to deglaze the pan a second time and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes on medium.

4. Combine 32 ounces of fresh brewed coffee with the bouillon. I made a French press of the 2010 Good Food Award-winning Ethiopia Kemgin: a fragrant coffee with a complex acidity that is not too heavily roasted. The French press is a great brewing method that imparts a lot of body, perfect for a soup stock.

5. Add the coffee/bouillon mixture and the bay leaves to the pot and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

6. Turn the oven to broil and toast the baguette slices on both sides until golden brown.

7. Remove the bay leaves and ladle the soup into oven safe bowls, top with two slices of toasted baguette and a generous slice of cheese. Place in the broiler until the cheese has melted and bubbled.
