A deliciously awful North American word meaning a cheap or insubstantial stew. Can’t recall what I was reading to come across such a fine description for some kind of soupy slop.
Anyhow, it does remind me of the rather thin and institutional-tasting vegetable soup I made in the absence of my chef-amateur husband. Â I keep kidding myself that what it lacks in flavour it also lacks in fat and will lose me in pounds.
