  Making soup and then dumping out the soup seems like a very stupid way to make soup.

  Maybe they feel better from not eating all of those simple, delicious calories.

    Have you ever cooked pasta?

      Pasta doesn’t lose the majority of its vitamins to its cooking water though. (Mostly because pasta doesn’t have many vitamins to begin with)

      Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:

      There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.

      But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.

      • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I did not argue that. I was just pointing out a funny edge case in the previous poster’s argument.

        That said, even actual vegetables such a broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes are often boiled in water without the intention of making soup.

      If you’re throwing out the pasta water, you’re wasting some very good stock to make the sauce you’ll put on said pasta.

      • MacNCheezus@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I wouldn’t call it stock, but Italians do indeed use pasta water in many (but not all) of their sauces. Makes sense because it’s basically just starchy water, which helps to bind the sauce.

        That said, you generally don’t need more than one or two cups of it, the rest is still thrown out.

    It’s called “boiling”.

    source

    • mosiacmango@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes, boiling is how you make soup.

      source

      • irmoz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah ofc, but boiling isnt always making soup, sometimes it’s just boiling, and what you’re “dumping out” isn’t soup

• TheDoozer@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  It’s not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

  So… boiled vegetables. That’s still already a thing. Not a particularly good thing (to my tastes), but been a thing for a long time.

    We are not talking about a specific food here, but about a way to prepare food. It does not matter what you cook - meat, vegetables, whatever. It’s about cooking it in water instead of sharp oil-based cooking.

    And no, it is not new at all.

    • aesthelete@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It’s not new and also nobody calls it “water based cooking” because that’s stupid.

    • irmoz@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So, it’s still just boiling.

  It’s not soup if they discard the water after cooking, leaving only the vegetables.

  Then it’s a waste of vitamines.

  • Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I mean, I definitely boil things like broccoli or potatoes and drain the water after. Not every meal calls for soup.

    source

    • Bytemeister@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Please stop boiling broccoli.

      Fry it up, or get yourself a steamer basket.

      source

      • MJKee9@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Blanching it for 60 seconds and then shocking it in ice water is a great middle ground. Then let it dry and sear it in a hot pan with some olive oil and garlic. Add butter if you are feeling naughty.

        We usually steam it or bake it with some olive oil, but I still boil it occasionally. I don’t have a steamer for my little pot~

    Agreed. I always cover myself in motor oil before I flambé my crêpes suzette!!

    During the siege of Leningrad they actually did have to resort to cooking in machine oil, among other awful things. Of course they were almost all women, because the men were fighting the war

    I read in popular science that it might be possible to use a variety of different kinds of gases to carry heat, or perhaps some kind of radiant heat or even radio waves to cook food. But sadly this fantastic technology is still just fiction. I hope I get to see a form of cooking that doesn’t involve immersing food in hot liquid. I wonder what it would taste like.

    • MNByChoice@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      radiant heat So some kind of nonconductive heat? How would that even work? I will stick with putting the pot in the fire.
