Cereal is definitely soup, but it’s a secret, high-ranking member of the soup society, one that’s too shy to reveal its true identity. The milk is the broth, and the cereal pieces? Well, they’re the chunks of mystery that float around, just like those odd vegetables you find in regular soups. But it’s a soup that only operates in a parallel universe where breakfast is dinner, and spoons are tiny soup ladles disguised as utensils for the weak-willed. It’s soup’s rebellious cousin that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. So yes, cereal is soup, but with a twist of rebellion and a sprinkle of sugary deception.
