Soup-food or drink?

19-10-2009, 09:30 PM

Basically life's little debates. Because I'm possibly having a cup-a-soup cream of asparagus in a moment.

Do you class soup as a food or a drink?

Basically my two arguments to this...

Food- Starter in restaurants.

Drink- Put into flasks and cups and basically drunk out of.

I'd say it's a food, because it's not a straight liquid.
Then again, some drinks aren't either.
Like tapioca drinks.
Hmm, I'd still say it's a food.

Food.

Food. It's designed to fill you up and drinks generally don't do that.

It's food.

I had a cup a soup earlier, I forgot how rank they are!

It's a food. and i hate cup a soup!

I had chicken and sweetcorn. I did it really thin so it was rank at first but I have to correct myself, it tasted okay after a while!

I'll probably have another tomorrow and do it a bit thicker. =)

If it's in a bowl, it's food. If it's in a cup, it's drink.

It occupies the nether-region between food and drink and thus, along with stew and custard, should never ever be ingested.

Yoghurt is excluded from this category for being yummy.

This is what I thought too.
It's years since I had a cup a soup, I like them

If you put scotch broth in a mug though I'd think of it as food. Because of the chunks. Mmm. I've made it sound appealing.

It's a liquidy food. Done.

I didn't know there was such a thing.
You'd have to chew it surely.

I think it's a food because it can count as a meal.
For example, if you say "I had soup for lunch."
no problem.
If you say "I had milk for lunch."
That's not really normal...

And most soups you have to chew or move around in your mouth somewhat before swallowing, so you're technically eating it?

Food food food
(but I always buy fresh stuff or make my own, so it tends to be thicker than cup-a-soup or canned stuff)

Food for me. I'm awkward and can't drink it. Needs to have a nice bread roll with it.

Casper_Fading · 20-10-2009, 09:42 AM

Food *nods* I like chunky chicken and corn soup! Actually... that's the ONLY soup I like :P And I buy it in a can and eat it with a yummy bread roll... nom nom nom

__T · 20-10-2009, 09:58 AM

Food if it's a proper soup, nice & chunky

silent · 20-10-2009, 10:02 AM

Food definitely! Needs a bread roll and a spoon!

I just thought, Bovril is a beef drink isn't it? That's different from cup a soup isn't it?
