Dumb question but does curry count as soup? 
So called dumb questions are good questions. I was bored so i thought I’d explore this question and did a little homework. There are 2 parts to the question - 1) what is curry, and 2) what is soup. There is a whole world of curry’s and i don’t know what you have in mind when you think of curry FullMiddle Malcomist but i assume something very liquid given your question. There are curry’s of course that aren’t very liquid and have a much thicker consistency of a sauce or paste. Anyway i won’t worry about curry definitions, the point is there is a whole spectrum of curry’s. The big question is what is a soup?

A soup is a primarily liquid food (it can have bits and pieces in it). So what is a liquid? A liquid is a fluid (the particles that make it up are free to flow - unlike a solid and like a gas) that is nearly incompressible (like a solid and unlike a gas), that conforms to the shape of its container (unlike a solid and like a gas) but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure (unlike a gas).

By definition then, the distinction between a soup / soupy curry and any other food / curry is that a soup is primarily liquid. We all probably knew this but sometimes it’s nice to have these things clarified (if in fact it has been clarified - someone else can quantify exactly what primarily means xD)

Are you a food scientist now, Sarah? ;)

Now for my thoughts...

A red curry, like this, may be primarily a liquid. I have gotten Thai red curries & Thai green curries that are free to flow & conform to take the shape of the container. I often find that I eat the chunks (tofu, vegetables) out of it & am indeed left with a soup-like spicy coconut-y broth. 

But it does depend on the cuisine. 
My boyfriend is from India where they tend to have more solid curries, like this one:

Definitely not a liquid. Not a soup. 


Mmmm....Now I want some curry...

I really want to try some onion soup someday, I heard it’s amazing for when you get the flu, and I tend to get sick very often, so I really want to learn how to make it someday~

Are you thinking of French Onion soup?
It is traditionally made from caramelized onions & beef broth.

Broth, in general, is good when you are sick. It can help you to stay hydrated. 

I have also heard of a creamy garlic & onion soup. Garlic is often considered beneficial when someone is sick, too.

that’s fair. i tend to prefer creamier soups to runnier ones myself. if they’re too thin it just feels like you’re eating a bunch of vegetables and shit just suspended in liquid it’s weird. creamier soups feel more cohesive to me if that makes sens
