Last night, a friend called vegetable soup “hot, wet salad,” but meant it as a positive. I’ll never get over it.

If stir fry is hot salad then vegetable soup is hot wet salad.

I have been many times tempted to call a vegetable soup a ‘hot wet salad’ but I always just giggled quietly to myself and never spoke it aloud
