Wow,that's weird! I never thought of that before,but I suppose it can be either!. If you like a thinner chili,then it would be a soup,but if you like it thick,then it would be a stew!. Now my brain hurts!

See,here it says that it's "stew - like",so what does that mean!?

Still other websites put chili in it's own category - it's not a stew or a soup,it's - surprise ! - chili!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If it's true Texas Chili, it's neither a soup nor a stew!. It's in a catagory all it's own!.!.!.!.and doesn't have beans added!. It's just meat with chili seasonings!. Adding the beans and onions makes it a stew!.!.!.!.adding more water because company just knocked on the door makes it a soup!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dictionary's define it as a spiced stew of ground beef and minced chilies or chili powder usually with beans!.

My opinion: It's neither, Chili is in a category all its ownWww@FoodAQ@Com
