    I remember a few years ago I overheard some classmates debating this topic and decided to research whether or not cereal was a soup for my homework, as a joke. And I debated that for anyone who says soup is a dinner food and cereal is a breakfast one. That in Sweden they have a blueberry soup that they typically eat for breakfast. It's called Blabarssoppa. Essentially it is boiled blueberries with cornstarch and sweeteners. So, if that is considered soup then cereal is soup. And that goes along with other things like cream of wheat, oatmeal, ect. Following along with Micheal's, "Is milk the icing to the cereal?" question; I stated that milk is to cereal as chicken broth is to vegetables. ((Keep in mind I defined soup as a thick or thin liquid with added chunks for texture or flavour. Which both the blueberry soup and cereal fall into that criteria.))

I also just figured out while typing this that "already" might probably be one as well, so I ended up using at least two possibly in that previous setence! Whoa.
