WRONG. Something cooked in liquid is the definition of soup. I’ll give you a controversial example. Meat cooked in a liquid is a stew. Stews are soups. Chili is just ground beefed cooked in liquid. Therefore chili is a stew ergo a soup. Cereal on the other hand is not a soup. It is not cooked at any stage of its making. Therefore it can not be classified as soup. That you would suggest such a thing is blasphemy.
