    Making soup and then dumping out the soup seems like a very stupid way to make soup.

    Maybe they feel better from not eating all of those simple, delicious calories.

        Pasta doesn’t lose the majority of its vitamins to its cooking water though. (Mostly because pasta doesn’t have many vitamins to begin with)

        If you’re throwing out the pasta water, you’re wasting some very good stock to make the sauce you’ll put on said pasta.

          I wouldn’t call it stock, but Italians do indeed use pasta water in many of their sauces. Makes sense because it’s basically just starchy water, which helps to bind the sauce.

          That said, you generally don’t need more than one or two cups of it, the rest is still thrown out.

      It’s like when somebody throws out the white rubbery thing after drinking their mozzarella

          Yeah ofc, but boiling isn’t always making soup, sometimes it’s just boiling, and what you’re “dumping out” isn’t soup
