Ok before you go sending me inappropriately angry Instagram dm's, let me first say I AGREE CHILI IS NOT SOUP.
I just don't agree with why. See for me it's because of the texture. That's way too thick to be soup. It's closer to a sauce than a soup, but it's definitely not a sauce either. It's its own category.
But the reason it's not soup? It's not broth based.
So all soups have to be broth based?? Are we just gonna completely ignore chowders???? Gazpacho????
Listen I did no research for this article but if you tell me chowders or gazpacho are broth based I will lose my sh*t.
