We all know the classic pot-stirring question, "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" And before you go and get all riled up about that one, I raise you ANOTHER question.
Is CEREAL A SOUP???

Like IDK about y'all, but this looks kinda soup-y to me. Not saying *I* think it's a soup but like, I'm very open to arguing about whether or not it is.
Enough people want to know the answer to this question that it is one of the *most searched* questions related to my initial query, "what constitutes a soup?"

Could this result be because Google is tracking my keystrokes somehow and saw me ask my coworker this very question? It's possible. But I will choose to believe there are others out there wondering.
I mean, I think it's a valid question. What is a soup if not a liquidy base, hot or cold, with some other food items floating around in it? Would a wheat or rice product suspended in milk by any other name still taste as sweet?

Surely both put a smile on your face, no?
