For me it’s more about solid-to-liquid ratio, soups are often “thick” but still liquidy overall. Stews are cooked down until there’s basically no broth, essentially just a gravy. My personal distinction is that stews can be eaten on a plate, soup can’t be.
That’s clearly a stew and not a soup. I will die on this hill.
What’s the difference?
Stews are thicker with big chunks and soup is thinner with small chunks

It might be a stew when it’s done, served as pictured, I’d call it a soup. Sorry bout it
