The idea that mashed potatoes are a colloid instead of a liquid is valid. However, it doesn't really serve much purpose in this argument as the general consensus of the internet is that most soups (including tomato soup) generally classify as colloids. This means that soups don't necessarily have to have two separate components to classify as a soup. For example, colloid soups such as pumpkin soup, tomato soup or mashed potatoes don't actually have a separate broth - they are just mixtures of solid particles suspended in a continuous liquid phase of varying composition. According to your logic, this means tomato soup doesn't meet the soup criteria, either. In regards to your point about ratios, I don't think the ratios mentioned on that website are necessarily accurate. I found a recipe online for Gordon Ramsay's broccoli soup here which requires 5 large broccoli heads (which usually weigh around 300-500 grams according to this site) and half a cup of water. For context, that's about 120 grams (rounded up) to 1.5-2.5 kilograms of broccoli. This means that the soup recipe calls for a ratio of liquid to vegetables of up to 1:21 (rounded up for simplification). Furthermore, this recipe for mashed potato calls for the same half a cup of liquid, but only 1.5 kilograms of potatoes. This means that the mashed potato recipe is actually on par with, or even possibly containing more liquid by weight, than the soup recipe due to its components. So if the ratio of liquid to solid vegetable components is how we are classifying soups, then I'd say mashed potatoes comfortably fit the criteria. Also, that's amazing that you got the part, CONGRATULATIONS!! I knew that one source was going to come back to bite me... but I had an actual research project for school, and as funny as this argument is school work is just a bit more important :) I have a few ideas for a rebuttal but I'm pretty sick rn and can't really put my thoughts into words... I'll get to it eventually :) 2 Quote
