I think if you're thickening with any kind of starch, you're making stew, not soup.

I had sweret potato quesadillas for dinner. They were pretty awesome.

You guys, you know what else is awesome? BREATHING. Using BOTH LUNGS AT ONCE. All hail the mighty albuterol.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cream soups have starch, don't they? Or am I making shit up.

They have thickeners, which are usually flour. Campbell's cheddar cheese soup/sauce? Contains flour.

I don't think there's a bright line between soup and stew. But a lot of not very stew-like soups are inexplicably made with thickeners.

I need to come up with something to make for dinner. Maybe scrambled eggs?

Commercial ones, maybe. I've never started a cream soup from scratch with a roux, though.

Maybe scrambled eggs?

I don't really have anything to fill an omelet. Out of cheese. No mushrooms to hand. No cooked veggies or meat of any kind lying around.

I had a similar dinner--tortilla with egg, refrained beans, salsa, and avocado.

Because books.

I have a sudden craving for egg drop soup. Can you make that, -t? For me, anyway?
