@liu_jun Soup: Usually based on a stock, soup typically contains chunks of meats, vegetables, grains, and pastas cooked in the stock.
Gravy: Stocks that have been flavored with seasonings, wine, milk, juices, etc., concentrated, and thickened with cornstarch or flour to be served on meat, potatoes, and pastas.
Broth/Stock: This is a bit more difficult because people say they are different, but they are really just the same. For all practical purposes, there is no difference.
- English (US)
Broth or stock is made by boiling something in water. Stock is therefore notably one ingredient or a single flavor. Gravy is taking a stock and thickening it, usually by adding flour. Soup uses stock as an ingredient, often adding solid food.
Example: boil bones from cow (with some meat) to make beef stock. Combine beef stock and flour to make gravy. Add vegetables to beef stock to make vegetable soup.

@NerdChieftain Thanks! So New England clam chowder is a type of soup or broth?
- English (US)
@liu_jun Yes chowder is soup.
But, chowder might be better to be called stew. The rule is if it is more solid than liquid, it’s a stew. Stew is chunky soup. This is minor difference.
This is also a joke. People debate wether a food is a stew or a soup.
