A perpetual stew, also known as forever soup, hunter’s pot, or hunter’s stew, is a pot into which foodstuffs are placed and cooked, continuously. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way, and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary. Such foods can continue cooking for decades or longer if properly maintained. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns.
Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavorful due to the manner in which the ingredients blend together. Various ingredients can be used in a perpetual stew such as root vegetables, tubers (potatoes, yams, etc.), and various meats.
At what point does a soup become a stew?
I’d say you can drink a soup but you can’t easily drink a stew.
To be more specific: you can drink the liquid part of the soup. You get soup with big chunks of meat and veg in it which doesn’t make it a stew even though you wouldn’t be able to drink it.
If it’s chunky as hella, you got stew there fella.
I think the pedantry was unnecessary. Nobody thinks you’re drinking a chunk of potato or carrot.
asap disagrees and commented that chunky soup is a stew.
Incidentally, would a bowl of cereal be considered soup?
Yes, but only for the mere moments before it becomes porridge.
And when does cereal become a stew
When it’s Frosted Mini Wheats.
