Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau!
Thank you. Took many hours to craft it.
I don't know if this conversation is still alive in any way but soup varies and exists in many different forms from culture to culture. I think the only rule is that it must be liquid. I consider melted ice cream a soup, and use oatmeal to make instant soup with frozen veggies. I imagine plain cheerios could make a great savory soup if done right (as for how, I'm still brainstorming that part.... probably with a cream broth). Milk and cereal would qualify, but I wouldn't necessarily call it that in casual conversation unless I wanted to pull up a powerpoint presentation and lecture on it.
You are my hero. I want to be lectured on cereal and soup, please. I agree so much! haha
No because it's disturbing to think of it that way lol
Look, I'll just say this:
In at least one game of Harvest Moon, there is a recipe you can make for corn cereal (which I assume is Kix or something) and you find that recipe in the soups/beverages section of the recipe book.
Honestly to me, if you have things that are not liquid floating/mixed in with something that is liquid and both parts, liquid and solid, are intended to be eaten together, it's soup. Also stew is thick soup, so that might make oatmeal stew, who knows?

The strong arguments put forth in this thread have swayed me to henceforth consider cereal as a soup.
Still gonna drink it out of a glass though.
I want to say no... With soup, the broth is PART of the meal! Like a nice binder. With cereal the milk (I drink almond milk) is... nice? but not necessary. Cereal can still be cereal if it's not in milk. Soup CAN NOT be soup if it's just a bunch of cut up veggies sitting on the counter.
Nope! All cereal is an amalgamation of lies and dairy. Last I checked, those weren't the ingredients for any kind of soup.
If I eat oatmeal, its so thick I use a fork...it looks like something else prepared otherwise.
For me, soup has to check off a minimum of things on a "soup trait list" - soups can lack one or two traits but still be soup. Intuitively, it isn't a soup because it's sweet, the liquid isn't thick enough, and it's cold. Even though there are cold soups, sweet soups, and watery soups. Since the focus is on the crunchy solid bits it's also not very soupy...

And now I'm uncomfortable. I was just cyberstalking the science being used behind this argument and you just had to say the words wheat and chunks together.
Excuse my science, but it's truth. I speak truth of the wheat chunks.
