Well, it’s putting a type of food into a liquid, and I know some people thought think “oh thats a type of soup” but I think it’s a breakfast item that I consider food :)
I’m kind of waiting for someone to say “yes” :o
cereal is a soupjk lol. it's most definitely NOT a soup
In some ways, it could be a soup, I guess. If you want to dig deeper into it, you might say that because it has edible things floating in liquid then it would be characterized as soup. But if you just want to stay sane, then it's best to just say that Cereal is not a soup, and it will NEVER really be a soup, no matter what is similar between the two.
Soup is characterized by having a broth and a couple other things. If we consider milk as a broth then yes but i say no.
According to Oxford dictionary, soup is “a liquid food made by boiling meat, vegetables, etc. in water, often eaten as the first course of a meal”. So, no, cereal is not soup.You’re welcome :)
What is going on? Where is the last word of the sentence?
No its not a soup
I’m waiting for someone to say “Yes” XD
it issoup is basically something you put in liquid to eat or sumn, so by that logic, cereal is soup
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this moment

its soup heres why: the milk that sits in soup has been boiled to a hot temperature then cooled so its a broth. to make a soup it needs to be a boiled liquid with whatever you deem to be a soup. cereal is a soup
Wait, what? you don't boil milk, that's nasty
isn't it cuz it's homogenized or something?
Um I don't think that's what homogenized means
Mod
That’s not how homogenizing things works.
Mod
Have you never had milk that’s been heated in the microwave? I ised to have it at night before going to bed because it would help me sleep. I don’t think I’ve ever boiled milk though.
Mod
Milk is boiled, but it’s only boiled if it’s raw, unpasteurized milk, that way all the harmful pathogens are eliminated. Otherwise, milk doesn’t need to be boiled. That’s not how broth is made. I’ve watched my parents make broth dozens of times, and that isn’t how that works. I don’t know anyone who boils milk to make broth. Broth is made of chicken stock or beef stock and water. I don’t even think milk is boiled in the making of clam chowder. Even mashed potatoes aren’t made like that. Cool milk is added to those things to make it more creamy, but it’s not boiled.
No i dont think so other than when i was a baby, the whole concept of warm milk creeps me out for some reason
Here you goHow is milk homogenized?
This process is completed in two stages. First, the milk is squeezed with the machine through small pores or tubes. As the pressure rises due to the small diameter of the holes and constant flow of milk, the fat particles begin breaking apart. Obviously, the higher the pressure, the smaller the particles. Typically, 2,000-3,000 pounds per square inch is applied to milk. With that said, some emulsifying machines can apply upwards of 14,500 psi of pressure.
When the fat particles get smaller, they begin to reassemble. In doing so, they capture casein and whey in their walls — and some are totally surrounded by protein. That’s why they tend to clump. So the second stage of homogenization is breaking up these clumps and ensuring that the particles stay evenly distributed throughout the milk.
Usually, homogenization comes after pasteurization. While it’s not necessary for homogenized milk to be pasteurized and vice versa, most commercial brands make their milk undergo both processes. So you can be sure that store-bought milk is both pasteurized and homogenized.

YES whenever i'm sick I sip on warm milk. It helps with my sinuses and the consistency feels nice on a sore throat.

I’ve never had it with a sore throat, mostly because I usually get sore throats when I’m sick. They tend to come with congestion, which gets worsened by dairy, so I avoid dairy when I’m sick. Plus, my mom doesn’t buy milk anymore. We’re mostly dairy-free. We have a lot of allergies…..sometimes it makes eating a double struggle.
Mod
We used to use almond milk, but if I remember correctly, my mom had problems with it. She has problems with soy and sulfites, so it’s difficult to find stuff to eat and drink sometimes.
Oof, that stinks. my mom is sensitive to random things like beans, spinach and cheese so that can be an *adventure* sometimes
Mod
Oof. Food allergies/intolerances are a struggle. I couldn’t even imagine being allergic/intolerant to beans. My maternal heritage goes back to Mexico, so beans are a native food for us. Honestly, I don’t think I could live without eating them. My mother, sister, and I tend to have more allergies to foods that were brought over from Europe and some parts of Asia.
Huh, interesting how that works! I dont have any food allergies but i have lots of random allergies
Mod
I have food allergies and two environmental allergies. I’m allergic to mulberry trees. I also have dermatographism, which causes an allergic/histamine response. It basically means that welts will apear on my skin when it comes in contact with something. It makes me able to write on my skin. You can look it up if you want to see an example.
Oh yeah! I've heard of that and honestly it's really cool! It looks super painful too but it would be cool to be able to do thatI'm allergic to mosquitos, dust, grass, pollen, latex and adhesive. If i wear a bandage i will get a really bad rash, it itches like crazy but burns when you scratch it. It's super fun😑
How did we get from cereal being soup to how to homogenize milk to allergies?!
idk lmaoalso my mom has a ton of food allergies, she's so amazing she usually makes a different food thing for us and she just kind of removes whatever she's allergic to in the dish
Mod
🤷🏼♀️ I don’t fully remember
Mod

Honestly, it isn’t painful at all save for when I’m initially scratched, but that’s just being a standard human. That doesn’t sound fun. I have to also be careful with makeup, hair products, and skin products. Having autoimmune disease means my immune system is hyperactive, which means I can react to anything and everything. It’s a fun time 😐
Mod

My mom just doesn’t make us anything with the stuff she’s allergic to 😂 We don’t eat things she can’t have because there’s like a 99.99% chance that whatever bothers her will bother me and my sister. That’s cool that your mom does that though 🙂
