Having mastered basic soup, the next step is milk soup.
Cream soups divide into a couple of varieties. There are milk soups which share some lineage with chowders, and there are cream soups, which are smooth, processed soups made mostly of vegetables.
The machine and cabinet are only about half of sewing. It really is fabric origami with occasional thread staples.
Sewing is not mostly sewing — it’s primarily cutting, fitting, and pressing. And yes, pressing is absolutely necessary. Don’t be younger me who thought pressing everything was being persnickety and fussy. It is persnickety, the same way that the difference between a crepe and a pancake is persnickety attention to detail. Pressing a seam sets the thread (makes it part of the fabric of the garment) and that stabilizes the seam.
Let’s make soup. These are the Euro-western water-based soups, not cream soups and not blended vegetable soups. Bean soups, several Asian type soups, and fish/shellfish chowders are their own categories.
This started as a thread in response to something at Bluesky (which I usually like, but which is, like the entire internet in 2024, frequently poisoned with too much binary thinking) and I decided I wanted it here. Comments are off.
So, I deleted a bunch of replies to a high profile account because I’m not someone’s punching bag when they’re getting dugeony about a profession they profoundly do not understand.

We do not live in Gotham.
Nor do we live in Metropolis.
Those are fictional.
So is Batman.
And Batman is not a hero.
