where’s sandy loam?
No one knows
I like my soup really hot and really wet.
TIL humans are broth.
Would it not also depend on how they respond to stimuli?
I’m intrigued by the border between salad and broth.
Think tuna salad, or chicken, or potato.
Keep adding water. The consistency then divides between broth and soup.
Roll it in your hand. If you can form a ball with the leftover material you’re likely in soup territory. If there’s nothing left over or there’s not enough consistency to form a ball it’s a broth.
…If you can form a ribbon with the ball it’s got some noodle content, I guess.
Salad-broth supercritical phase
If the “broth” in this case is ranch dressing, that’s just a midwest salad
Salad-broth-soup triple point
Me too. There should be soup in between, right?! Not all soup needs noodles.
Nalley Fresh in the US puts broth on greens salad.
OK, what greens would you like? Summer mix please
What veggies? green peppers, onion
What protein? Bacon please.
What broth? huh?
What Broth? broth?
Yeah we have vegetable and chicken and… O.o umm none please…
Are you sure? uhh ok let’s try chicken?
It wasn’t horrible, but I never went back, even knowing I could just say no.
So if I just pour enough water on my salad it becomes a broth? Awesome!
I guess we could make an assumption that water content includes anything as fluid as water. So a nice vinaigrette drowning a bunch of cucumber chunks would be a salad and not a soup.
Water = 10% noodles + 10% vegetables + 95% water
Edit: Oh, you follow the lines, not the triangle boundaryWater = 5% noodles + 5% vegetables + 90% water
I love it when the soil triangle gets memed. The original triangle is used to determine soil textures, which is a super important property in !soilscience@slrpnk.net
Come on by to learn more about passion. We’ve got lots of pictures of profiles and tons of resources for those who want to nerd out
It is the Gibbs triangle, not exclusive to soil :P
That particular layout is exclusive to soil, sorry
Love me some sandy loam
I like how precise it is. It seems they tried all the combinations
They tried something that was 5% noodles, 5% vegetables, and 90% water, and decided that the result was water.
seems accurate. if i had bucket of water and there was a single pea and a lone noodle floating in it i sure as heck wouldn’t call it soup, or even think that its intentional
Yeah, it’s like if you get a water flask at a restaurant and they have some lemon or something in it. It’s still water not soup.
Same idea but vegetables and noodles
If it was 15% pureed vegetables however? Because that’s what the bottom axis represents
vegetable flavoured water? thinnest of broths? realistically, we call it nothing because what would you even do with something that’s 15% vegetable puree and 85% water? my only idea would be to add more vegetables to make it into something, or to use it as i’d use regular water to boil other vegetables or make pasta in it
Cucumber water is a thing.
Realistically, 15% is too high but if the section for water was any shorter the word wouldn’t fit inside.
That one should have been “dirty bowl”
Only the highest quality

Incase someone hasn’t seen that before
What? If I understand it all, do I get a PhD in salad?
Salad is way too big a lot of that region should be soup. If you give me a bowl of 50/50 water and veg I’m calling that soup not a salad.
Coke (the soda) is 90% water.
Your soup will still be a soup (or a thin broth, at least) at a far higher percentage of water than you think it will.
Cucumber and lettuce is more water than coke (also Coke is less than 90% water). This chart is all kinds of fucked up. 80% noodles, 20% vegetables and 50% water is noodles?
I’d be pretty upset if my faucet spat out 10% noodles
Really? But that’s a free unlimited pasta hack?
I think “veggie stew” is missing.
Agreed. “Chunky water” type vegetable soup is very different from “thick and gloopy” pumpkin soup
when I moved from the US to Ireland the first culture shock was going into a pub at 3pm and finding out they weren’t serving really cause it was between lunch and dinner, but he could get me a soup and sandwich.
he proudly returned with white bread with butter on the inside and two slices of cold ham and one slice of cheddar, and a bowl of warm baby food
Now that’s good eating.
We’ve got ourselves a conspiracy theorist.
Open your eyes, sheeple!
More like conspiracy stew-orist!
Mmm… noodle soup
Thanks, I hate it.
Most soups don’t have noodles. This doesn’t work for me.
Also veggie/water is already soup at like 20%watrr
It doesn’t mean most soups have noodles, it just means noodle content has a fairly overriding influence on how the, uh, soup is defined.
It wouldn’t be soup without noodles according to this chart.
Yeah with veggies only and no noodle it stays solidly salad until 50%. The 80/20 veggie-water split is what separates dry salad from salad.
The noodle content just pushes a salad into a soup with less water content than the soup/broth interface does with salad. So clay of noodle.
Seems like the diagram on my soup taxonomy paper is not going to make it through peer review 😔
