  Putting a raw tomato and a raw chicken breast into a bowl and adding water doesn’t make chicken soup. In soup all the ingredients are prepared together in the liquid, which is not drained after.

    Gazpacho is soup, and it includes whole raw ingredients.

    In cereal, all the ingredients (cereal, fruit, nuts, etc.) are placed together in the base, which is not drained.

      The missing step is preparation of the ingredients and liquid, all together. Gazpacho is blended. So are milkshakes, for which I left the door open.

      Other soups have other preparations, but the key is they’re prepared together with the liquid.

      If you blend and/or boil your cereal, I’ll grant you it’s soup. And please do record yourself eating it.

        Okay so then hot cereals like oatmeal and porridge are soups, but not cold cereal like cornflakes.

        So if cereal, being raw whole/chunky ingredients and a liquid, aren’t soups, they are a salad.
