It's true tho, certain protein shakes can be used as a meal replacement, usually for sick people. I use them that way when I can't eat. But those other drinks just have restorative properties (electrolytes, protein, vitamins) and aren't meant to replace meals.
Also soup is usually a "liquid food". Things like vegetables and meat are meant to be eaten with the broth. However, some choose to just drink the warm, savory, seasoned liquid in thermoses and mugs and stuff alone. In that case, it's still soup, but in beverage form. Soup is soup. Soup is circumstantial.

…it took me way longer than it should to realize you meant people who are ill
my brain just went "yeah, people who drink protein shakes are messed up" and didn't question a thing

Soup is a drink, change my mind!
Well, I don't like to find chunks of meat in my drinks, it sounds like a choking hazard.
A Drinks primary roll is to hydrate while A soups is to provide necessary nutrition.
A soup contains most of the food groups, Carbs, Proteins, and fat's.
A drink is not considered a whole meal and a soup is.All valid points, however, a protein shake is a drink and it's purpose is to give nutrients as well. It is seen as a whole meal. And like a drink with ice you don't swallow ice.
Yes, but you're not supposed to eat around the meat and vegetables in the soup the way you're supposed to drink around the ice. A drink can give nutrients, like Gatorade or Pedialite, but those are exceptions to the rule.
A drink can serve to give nutrients, though hydration is normally the primary goal, except in cases with drinks made out of alcohol.
It has also been pointed out that a smoothie or a shake is considered a drink. One may drink soup, but it is not considered a drink as drinking is not the primary method of delivering it to the stomach.
Therefore I say a drink is any substance that humans decide is preferable to intake as a liquid.
By this theory, I raise broth to the platform of drink.
except in cases with drinks made out of alcohol.
Sir have you heard of soda
Or coffee
True.
I propose to you this Idea.
Any chief or individual with in culinary circle's would find the categorization of soup as a drink ridiculous. As they are the experts, I believe this case is closed.
Agreed with Relsey.
Case has been closed, now, is cereal a soup? Because I think so.
Hmm. I don't think that a soup needs to be served cold (gazpatcho–which I likely misspelled horribly–is served cold), however it may require the ingredients to be cooked in the broth/base, which cereal is not.
Cereal is putting milk on dry sugar cardboard, dumbass. It's not soup.

Well, take ramen, for example. The noodles and other toppings are cooked/prepared separately, then added to the base just before serving. It's the same with cereal.
The dictionary definition of soup is "a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock or water."
While neither stock nor water is involved in cereal, cream-based soups (the superior soups) do exist as well. While nothing in cereal is boiled, technically it only says "typically" as opposed to "always", so it is a bit unclear.

Hate that stuff.

Cereal can be eaten dry.

I usually eat it dry.
Meaning it is a valid and acceptable way to eat it, therefore making it not a liquid dish.
Therefore, cereal is not a soup.
But you can also eat the soup ingredients dry. Not necessarily in the state they go into the soup, but if your soup has veggies and roast chickens, you can eat those apart from it.
Even though you can doesn't mean that it is a thing that is done.
Well now I'm going to make raw soup just to spite you
I raise you the fact that even if one or multiple people decide to eat soup in this –disgusting manner that should abhor all decent men and women– doesn't mean that it is socially acceptable, meaning it is still not what is Done.
I will make it what is Done.
You'll have to get 51% of the world to agree with you. Good. Freaking. Luck.
cereal on it's own is not a soup, when combined with milk it can be considered one, maybe I don't know how I feel about that one though. My gut says no.
