Beef Stew Soup...?

To most Chinese Euro-American soup is a bit of a mystery.  To Chinese a soup is rather watery, more like a consommé.  These days, most of the soup you find in restaurants out here in North America at least tends to be of the thicker kinds--beef barley, pumpkin...and the like.  To a Chinese, these are more stew than soup.  Here I have a beef stew that is slight more saucy than usually, so you tell me, is it a soup or a stew?
