Last night I just didn't feel like cooking anything at all. So I opted for a bowl of cereal. I sat contemplating my supper, and this drifted through my mind...
Is cereal a soup? Why or why not?
And darned if I know...It actually might be!!! This is the dictionary's definition of soup:
a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water.
"a bowl of tomato soup"
BUT...gazpacho, vichyssoise, and naengguk are all cold soups, to name just a few. Not hot. And many soups are grain-based, and many use milk or cream rather than stock or water. So...
I'm gonna say yeah, cereal IS soup! It will make me feel much better about supper last night, at any rate!
