Breakfast cereal served the standard way, in a bowl with cold milk poured on and eaten with a spoon. Does this count as a soup, why or why not? Defend your answer with logic (or emotion, whatever I’m not your dad)

      As long as it’s hot and soupy, I consider it a soup, unless it’s more of a stew. Actually no, stew could be considered a subset of soup. That means I also don’t recognize gazpacho as soup.

          Then you have a warm vegetable smoothie. I think cooking is important. But I guess stove top gazpacho would count then. But so would an actual fruit smoothie thrown in a pot, and I don’t like that idea. And I guess cereal too. Christ.

          My internal inconsistencies leave me confused, I’m going to rethink my life over a bowl of what may or may not be soup.
