I see the trap you are laying by trying to bring me down to that level, so I refuse to follow it. Give me a proper counter Echo

I'm not really a soup guy so tell me about cheese soup

That's because Caucasian people seem to like overcomplicating their soup. Also, if you're arguing this topic, "commonly" doesn't mean "always." The point is that it can lack a broth and still be a soup, or even that it can lack vegetables and meat and still be a soup. Anyone debating this kind of topic needs to come up with a logical, commonsensical definition that can be shared before they can start arguing their stances, or else it's just people stating their opinions based on their own definitions of the terms.
Now, for me, I would argue that the difference comes in the base consisting of boiled water, but then someone might start calling watery macaroni and cheese soup, which I don't think would be very agreeable either, haha.

True. There is no universal definition. But I do think there are definitions that are more agreeable and can thus be used as a basis for arguments. 
You're asking me? I dunno. Opinion-wise, I'd say it isn't, because I instinctively categorize cereal and soup as being different. I guess they make me feel different? It's like how meats and vegetables are separate in my mind, in a sense. Cold soups aside, I usually think of soup as being warm at least, and personally I am not a fan of cereal in warm milk. It makes the cereal all soggy and disgusting real fast. So their purpose is different for me. Soup is for rejuvenation, while cereal is more for waking me up in the morning. 
Another aspect that might apply is physical/chemical reactions. For instance, is soup defined by putting something edible in water and soaking it? Boiling it? Or, maybe certain types of cereals would constitute as "soup" while others wouldn't? For example, Lucky Charms have sugar and food coloring that dissolves in the milk and makes it purple, and I don't think most people would consider purple milk soup. However, I'm no connoisseur of soup types or of food science, so I'm not too sure whether physical/chemical reactions apply when stirring cereal in a bowl or when making soup. (I do think I know that sugar dissolving into water is a physical change, while cooking is generally chemical...if I'm wrong on the first one, please just kick me back to grade school, I beg you lol.)

I dunno, I think this is more of a dialogue than a debate because we more or less have the same claim; I'm just less direct about it lol. I'd be interested in hearing from the other side since I haven't completely decided yet on an objective level.
I don't think I've ever made any soup other than chicken soup, so I wouldn't know. 
Hmm...that kind of reminds me of porridge, though. And oatmeal. Those are also boiled. And like I mentioned before, the oily base + milk reminds me of macaroni and cheese, too. But those all seem like mini debates in their own right.
Oh, and rice soup exists, though that's also a water base. It's just notable since it counts as soup even though the only components are water and rice, which you may note is not a meat/vegetable/dairy option but rather a grain, and there's no broth like you defined (or maybe I misdefined broth).
And adding onto that, if I recall correctly, arroz con leche (a type of pudding) is made similarly to rice soup, which raises more questions too lol.

Or was that just yesterday...?

No worries about the convo. It was fun while it lasted.
I think I get what you mean, though I think of it more cynically than you do and then don't really act on it. 
By the way, if you can't get to form acceptance, just let me know and I can do it. I reckon I can get to it faster than you because of different school schedules between us.
And as always, good luck with schoolwork and life!

Bruhhhhh whenever I get less active I always worry about the things I don't answer to and then I eventually forget to answer   

WHAT IN THE WORLD HUCKLEBERRIES I SAID CELEBRITIES HOW DID IT GET HUCKLEBERRIES

Chainsaaawww Chainsaaawww Chainsaaawww

I realize what I just typed may sound weird in your head if you don't know what I am referencing, but thats ok

I am ready for 3 things
1. People to call it chainsaw mid (carried by animation)
2. The possible and likely corruption of the fandom as anime onlys/the larger mainstream audience is brought over (bad takes, weird shipping stuff, whatever)
3. For me to most likely be happy with the product becuase what matters is my enjoyment, not theirs.
 

Oh! And I also loved the movie/tv-show/manga/anime/pop-culture references and just how stuffed the op was with them. I personally haven't looked at a lot of the stuff, but I'd like to, since many of them are to be classic movies and stuff.

I like how all of the references were also in larger reference to the author being a movie buff and how he takes inspiration from many movies
 

You can do it! Remember to drink water before those presentations so your voice doesn't give out on ya

I am thinking of things...
