    Broth doesn’t deserve to be called a soup. It is mostly a meaty beverage that is more like tea.

    People on a keto diet drink bone broth as a beverage.

    Tea is leaves soaked in water... Pretty much the same thing as a swamp.

    Tea Tree is not a tea, soup, nor broth.

    Grandpa had 'jellied consomme' almost every day for lunch. But then again, he was nuts. I think it is just beef broth that has been chilled.

    bouillon, chowder, gumbo, potage, stock, gumbo, bisque, consomme, stew
    There are many synonyms for soup. I rely on broth as the foundation for my crock pot soup making; and the broths I make are usually from root- or leafy green vegetables. Broths can also be used as the marinades for fish dishes. I wholeheartedly disagree with the opening statements.
     
  8. When my grandma was dying she could only drink broth and one time I had to give her a kiss as broth was seeping down her lips.

    Here in the UK, Meat tea was a full dinner served between 5 and 7 pm, associated with the working classes where the husband came home hungry after a days manual work. It was widely accepted that it was also because he wanted to get to the bar earlier. :yum::yum::yum:
    The name originated because it was at the same time that the gentry would be served 'high tea' a few hours prior to dinner.

    Beef tea was served to invalids with severe gastric problems, so restaurants adopted the French term consomme to make clear soups sound more attractive.

    It's weird how meat tea sounds so gross, but soup sounds okay. Iced meat tea on a sweltery day is even worse.

    true. don't think i've heard anyone CALL it soup. soup BASE maybe. something to add to water you're boiling something else in.
    like mushrooms, bell peppers and onions.

    its all in the cultural mind. meat tea sounds fine to me. beef broth that was boiled with noodles, then cooled and iced. i could go for that right about now myself.

    Check out this episode of New Tricks (a British detective series). You'll learn everything you didn't want to know about "Beef Tea"!

    i didn't realize people called broth a soup. i thought it was the liquid part of soup, not the whole soup itself.

    soup is generally worthless anyway, unless you're sick and it's all you can eat. 99% of the time, it will just leave you hungry.

    I find broth in the soup isle in the supermarket.

    It should be in the tea section :)
