dictionary.com said:
soup n.

1. A liquid food prepared from meat, fish, or vegetable stock combined with various other ingredients and often containing solid pieces.

stew n.

1. A dish cooked by stewing, especially a mixture of meat or fish and vegetables with stock.

chi·li n.

1. Ground beef and chili peppers or chili powder often with tomatoes and kidney beans

chow·der n.

1. A thick soup containing fish or shellfish, especially clams, and vegetables, such as potatoes and onions, in a milk or tomato base.

So, of these, a chowder is most like a soup. Chili, however, is just that - chili. Why the compulsion to lump them all into one category?

Type "Chili soup" into Yahoo and you get over 6 million hits.

type chili into google, you get over 21,000,000 hits.:biggrin:

I typed in "chili soup" with the quotation marks into google, and I only got 56,900 hits.

Personally, I say we apply the Seinfeld-test to determine if it is or is not a soup. The Seinfeld-test says soup is not a meal. However, we all know that chili is a meal. Therefore, chili is not a soup.

On our lunch menus here at school it even says chili soup.

Wait a minute - you all missed something here. If the lunch lady says it, it must be true...

Actually, I have to rule with the "chili isn't soup" contingent here. Soup, to me, requires a broth or cream base of some sort.

I also heartily agree that you can't beat grilled cheese & tomato soup. And pretty much any form of cheese soup is good by me.

Overall favorite has to be lobster bisque, though.
