		dzhiurgis on Nov 26, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Soup Map – 277 European Soups Biriyani, paella and plov is basically same (yet tastes very different). What I’m interested in is why most soups in Eastern Europe are stock/“bullion” style while in west they are more like goulash/curry/gravy?

I believe it's just a classification difference. In some cultures a soup is soup when it's liquid. A gravy-style dish can exist, no problem, but will not be recognized as soup then.
