Can cereal be classified as a soup?

  1. 1. Can cereal be classified as a soup?

    • Yes, It is related to the Gazpacho family.
    • No, I have simply not thought about it long enough.
    • I am undecided and need to conduct further research.
  2. 2. Would you put crackers in your cereal?

    • Yes, salty and sweet is an excellent combination. Look how well it works for trail mix.
    • No, the cereal itself is the crackers and that is why cereal IS soup
    • I am a firm believer, even with all of the evidence, that cereal IS NOT a soup. The answer is NO!

Cereal is served cold, soup is served hot.

cereal is sweet, soup is savory

Cereal uses a normal spoon, soup uses a soup spoon

Cereal is for everyone, No soup for you

Thus, cereal is not soup!

 

On the other hand though porridge/oatmeal could be soup :22_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Gazpacho is a cold soup and is also kind of sweet. Furthermore, not all cereal is sweet. 

 

And have you ever tried eating cereal with a soup spoon? It's absolutely better than using a normy spoon.  

"That's all I have to say about that."

Therefore, Gazpacho = cereal. Settle down sir

Let's break this down into some basic math.

Soup ≥ Gazpacho ≤ Cereal

By practice yes. It can be considered a soup. However, most soups are a fine mixture creating a homogeneous solution which is not *Easily* separated. Cereal, in most cases, can be easily separated again. While not a defining reason for cereal to not be soup I think it's important to establish they are, but they aren't. Same same; but different? Right?

Can one not Spoon the noodles Out of the broth?

I was more arguing the point of separating a good broth to being it's individual components (stock, seasoning, herbs, etc.) Sure you can spoon noodles out, but noodles are merely one small portion of the equation.
