I’d say no but I’m curious what you all think.

I actually had this discussion with my roommate last night and we came to the conclusion it’s not a soup.

Much closer to stew than soup, but depending on your preparation...you could make an argument that it is really a sauce.
THis. Stew or sauce. Maybe if you are really into the cultural anthropology of cuisine you could make a claim for chili being a "curry."

Thanks.

That would be a fascinating debate.

There are also the less cultured circles that may try to label it as "gravy", but no one really takes that definition very seriously anyhow.

I would say that soups have stocks. There may be some examples to the contrary, but I think that's a decent place to start?

Chili doesn't have stock in any form I've ever made it in.

Lol, dammit. Saw this after my first reply.

I want to partially redact my prior post. I would not doubt @brett05 has eaten a bowl of Cincinnati chili by itself before.

The same reason why we don't take a chili topped pizza and stuff it into a brisket.

It's not a bad question. I don't know about there, but several pizza places here do what is called Butter Chicken Pizza. I have not tried it, and probably won't.

K but what if said pizza was to be left on the roof of my car while I went into a dive bar?

I would say that covering that thing in canned chili is the only way to make it edible again. May I suggest Amour brand as it is equally as disgusting.

Seriously, chili is at it's best as a condiment...so the only limits should be your imagination and blood pressure.
