Just curious, what's the real difference between vegetable beef soup and beef stew?

Culinary curious crew! I've been pondering over this - what's the actual difference between vegetable beef soup and beef stew? Is it the thickness, ingredients, or something else? They seem pretty similar to me. Would love to understand the distinctions. Thanks for shedding some light on this!

I think the main difference is the consistency. Vegetable beef soup tends to have more broth, while beef stew is thicker and heartier with less liquid. Though, both are delicious in their own way!

I've found that too, veggie soup's more liquidy, beef stew's thicker... but both yummy in diff ways!.
