Are soup and noodles the same?

* Soup is a liquid food, typically made with a broth or stock, and often containing vegetables, meat, or other ingredients.

* Noodles are a type of pasta, usually made from wheat flour, that can be cooked in soup, but can also be eaten in other dishes like stir-fries, salads, or as a side dish.

Think of it this way:

* Soup is the container or the liquid base.

* Noodles are a possible ingredient that can be added to soup.

While noodles are often found in soup, they aren't the defining characteristic of it. There are many types of soup that don't contain noodles, and there are many ways to enjoy noodles that don't involve soup.
