Unrelated story but when guests would come over, my mom would go to the store and buy the fanciest meat (usually filet mignon) and put it in a stew/soup (she liked making soups). To this day the only way I've had filet mignon was in soup

Wow, you should really go to a butcher shop nearby and buy some filet mignon. Try making some steak au poivre, a classic of French cuisine. It's not too hard and it's delicious.

I love soup, and I love filet mignon, but... those two things don't really go well together.

But why though? That sounds completely backward. Wouldn't you use cheap meats in soups?

It is backwards and it doesn’t make sense. My mom just had a poor understanding of how to be fancy and my dad was too nice to correct her
