Hello. I think you can say sweet wine. As for the thick soup, I beleive it �s correct.

I �d say that clear soup doesn �t really have an opposite, but another alternative is cream soup.

A dry wine: A sweet wine
Clear soup: thick soup - like pea soup is thick
clever student: A not so bright/clever student - a very polite way to say this
tough meat: tender
meat rough sea: calm sea salt water: fresh water strong
beer: mild beer

What about cream soup?
Stupid student? I wouldn �t use that one either ... I, too would use "not very clever", the same way as I say "not very thin"

I also thought about rich soup.. but I guess the meaning is different! Totally agree with Minka... I would just say "not very clever"! |

A rich soup is different than a "thick" or "creamy" soup. Rich refers to flavour. A consomm� which is a "clear soup" can be rich, meaning it has a lot of flavour. And a cream(y) soup is also different, it is made with milk/cream and isn �t always "thick".
The opposite of a consomm� (clear soup or broth) is a thick soup like a stew or bisqu�... something that has substance to it.

A dry wine--a sweet or fruity wine.
A clear soup--a dense or heavy soup.
