SOUP AND CHILI FAQs
What is the difference between soup and chili?
The main difference between soup and chili is in one ingredient: stock. Soups are often made with stock or broth to create the soup base. Chili does not use stock but uses the juices from the meat and tomatoes to create the base.
How many types of soup are there?
Six different types of soup fall into two main categories. Those categories are clear and thick soup. The six types of soup are Bouillon, Broth, Consommé, Bisque, Cream, and Potage.
An example of a clear soup would not have a thickening agent, such as Chicken Noodle Soup. In contrast, thick soups, such as Creamy Potato Soup, use thickening agents like flour, cornstarch, and cream to thicken the base of the soup.
