: a plant (such as a grass) yielding starchy grain suitable for food.: a prepared foodstuff of grain (such as oatmeal or cornflakes)Note that the definition of cereal, points out that what we refer to as 'cereal', is specifically the grain stuff itself.

Sounds like fun!.
Submit. It cannot not not be a soupWhen my boiling hatred for you insolent fools who say its not liquifies your body with the force of a thousand neutron stars have i turned you into a cereal or a soup? You will be crucified, Nailed to a cross of lies with nails of illogic, And a thorny crown of degeneracy. Hell hath no fury like the vengeful wrath of god and i intend to do his will upon those who oppose his objective truth.
The path to righteousness will be paved with the broken bones and blood of these sinners and i will rejoice in the reckoning i will bring. For i am the shepherd of truth and i will guide those who seek to listen into the valley of omniscience. My rage is ubiquitous and i am untethered and unending. God will bear no mercy in your soul and neither will I. Submit. Soup is specific in what it meansThere are many foods that seem similar because they have a liquid property but fall under different categories.
These are some of them and they are all classed differently.-Broth-Soup-Stew-Bisque-Chowder-Gumbo-Oatmeal-CerealThere are differences to why they are named differently, you are free to look this up. Cereal is it's own category.
I would say it's biggest difference is that it's solely based on milk, grains, chocolate, peanut butter, fruits or other sweet/desert sugary consistency. Submit. The liquid milk in your cereal isn't boiling.If we were to define soup, it can be easily defined as: a bowl of a heated/boiling liquid that can also be mixed with other ingredients.What cereal is contradicts that definition.
Cereal is made of some sort of crunchy flakes mixed in with nice, cold, fresh milk. The total opposite of soup. Plus, cereal eaten as a nice healthy breakfast.Soup is eaten to calm or heal the body.
So if cereal was a soup, wouldn't that change the definition of what soup is? Submit. In my opinion, a better definition:Soup: 'a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables with various added ingredients.' -Dictionary.ComSince cereal is normally not made using such elements as meat, fish, or vegetables, and it almost never requires any preliminary simmering, I cannot morally consider it a soup. Now, my argument is simply based upon Dictionary.Com's definition, and definitions of the same word may vary from dictionary to dictionary, but the definition used by tacoman987 is debatably questionable. The fact that the definition used the word it is attempting to define is alarmingly.
If you tried to break the definition down and define each individual word, you would eventually attempt to define the word 'soup' which you would find is a substance that resembles soup. But what is 'soup?' Oh yeah, it is a substance that resembles soup! As you can see, you eventually run into this baffling, silly cycle.
I for one completely agree with triton11 in claiming that breakfast cereal is a soup is positively preposterous.
