I’m the guy that mentioned I got a prime brisket on sale at Costco and watched you make a fool of yourself.

I don’t want to fight anybody. But I’m pretty sure I’ve already won any fight against you.

I can't think of a soup that would sound ridiculous if you put "soup" at the end of the name. Struggling to think of one that doesn't require it.

Does anyone say gumbo soup?

Saying you have never seen one on sale is very different than saying “Costco doesn’t put briskets on sale” you understand that, right?

See above.

Never considered it a soup but this locks it up for me...

I think the use of a roux, braising the meats and slow cooking are factors making it more of a stew than a soup. As far as why its under soup on a menu, where else are they going to put it?

Nothing is braised in gumbo

slow cooking


You’re grasping at straws here.

Soup
Stew
Gumbo
Bisque
Chowder

I kind of break them down like this. Even if they are all the same or too similar, I can imagine someone saying "this soup is more like a [insert any of the others]" and I'd know what they meant.

Not even chicken and wild rice soup?

That rice is cooked in with the soup

Next time I make gumbo I’m going to measure the viscosity. It will be quite a bit greater than 1 cP which is what I’m assuming chicken and rice soup is close to

Why is gumbo soup? What criteria are you using to categorize gumbo as soup?



If you go to any restaurant that serves gumbo theyare typically under the soup section, served with a soup ladle, in a soup bowl, eaten with soup spoons.

What makes it not a soup?

When one asks for chicken noodle soup do they say I'd like some chicken noodle or do they say I'd like some chicken noodle soup?

When one asks for gumbo do they say I'd like a bowl of gumbo soup or do they say I'd like a bowl of gumbo?

BTW, gumbo bowls are a thing.

Grapes are often served in a bowl.

Bowls aren't just for soup!

When one asks for chowder or bisque, do they say "I'd like a bowl of chowder soup/bisque soup?" both of those are def in the soup category.
