Then why are they so often listed together in cookbooks? They are in essence a thickened soup.

I know about fish soup. I've heard about chicken noodles soup through stories/movies/series but never had it. Never heard about the other.

Zuppa Toscana is a soup created by an "Italian" restaurant chain which contains potatoes, sausage, and collard greens in chicken broth. It's very tasty, but it bears a resemblance to a soup known as "Caldo Verde". Which is actually Portuguese.

If you put veggies, potatoes, meat and cheese and blend it until smooth doesn't it looks like baby food?

Not all soups are pureed.

I dunno, bro. A stew just doesn't seem like a soup to me. In my mind a soup is a starter, whereas a stew is a main course.

For me soup is something liquid,  like you could eat it with a straw and so not very filling. I'd have a little more to eat after, like a cheese sandwich or a light meal

Anyway a big juicy piece of meat is better than soup, however way it is prepared, at least that is filling

Well, as much fun this last hour or so has all been, I promised myself when I got up this "morning" that I wouldn't stay up too late this time.

But it's now fast approaching 1:00am, so that is another promise I have failed to keep. 

I'm off to bed, folks!

Clo is talking about creamed or pureed soups which are less common here in the US.

Marty we mostly prefer what we refer to as hearty soups, something akin to a stew without thickening the broth. Also, remember Americans tend not to have multiple courses to our meals. We don't typically have a starter course. We often treat salads as a side or as the main rather than a separate course. We might have appetizers or separate soup or salad courses is when we dine out but rarely at home.

Depends on the soup, and the amount of soup served.  Lighter soups definitely need something else to accompany them.  Stews are like a thick soup, but I tend to think of them as being served over something, like rice or pasta.  I also think of stews as having gravy as opposed to broth.

Y'all are so mean to me!  I'm considering punishing y'all, by making each and every one of you take a Calculus exam.  

I may grade it on a curve, if I'm feeling generous...

They say you only tease the ones you love. 

And Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't short. That's a common misconception.

The main difference between soup and stew is in the primary ingredient liquid. Soup can either e completely liquified, or it can include other ingredients such as meat, fish, or vegetables which are fully submerged in broth, water or stock. Stew, however, is much heartier and thicker than soup and can also be used as a main course. Most people have sandwiches with soup but not all.
