Is cereal soup? this is bohering me

soups are almost always[4] cooked or otherwise further processed beyond pouring the ingredients into the broth and dunking them with a spoon until they become saturated. Some of those among us argue cereal is also cooked because the pieces served in the box are cooked in some fashion before hitting the shelves, but this confuses the argument. It’s not about whether the individual parts of the mixture are cooked. Instead, the primary consideration here is whether the individual cereal pieces are cooked or otherwise further processed with the milk. And they aren’t. Cereal pieces are not cooked or otherwise processed with milk to create one cohesive whole, namely, soup. Look back to the math above. Cereal with milk = cereal. Cereal without milk = cereal. Cereal is not blended/cooked/combined in any such way with milk to create soup. See the light, bros. Cereal is not soup.
