今天听到了一个很有意思的小知识：

soup– a hot liquid that is eaten with a spoon, usually made by boiling meat and vegetables in water and herbs, often with small pieces of meat, vegetables,and/or noodles floating in it.

soup--通常会在沸腾的水中加入切成小块的肉、蔬菜或者是面条，也会加入草药，用勺子吃的清汤。

stew– a very thick soup made by cooking meat, vegetables, and especially potatoes in a large pot over low heat for a very long time.

stew-浓汤，加入肉、蔬菜和土豆在一个大锅中熬煮很长的一段时间，吃了不容易饿。

stock– a clear liquid made by boiling meat, vegetables, and herbs

stock-stock虽然有很多的意思，但是在厨房中值得是清汤（a clear stock），加入肉类、蔬菜、草药等。更多的像是汤底，比如吃面条的时候的汤底可能会是排骨汤底，是用排骨长时间熬煮出味后的汤。和soup很像，但是材料可能比soup少。

bisque– a creamy, thick soup, especially made with lobster.

bisque- 很稠有龙虾的浓汤。
