What is the difference between soup, stew, and gumbo?
The difference between soup, stew and gumbo is that stews are generally thicker than soup with a wine or gravy base and have meat, potatoes and vegetables. Gumbo is generally quite spicy and is a southern dish generally using a fish with fish stock. Soups are either creamy or have a broth and can be made with meat or vegetarian. Thanks for using ChaCha.
