minus-squareHauntedBySpectacle [he/him, comrade/them]hexbear5·2 years agoI mostly agree, but counterpoint: miso soup is called soup but it's just made out of a fermented-soy paste; there's no stock involved. link

Good analysis
damn you're right
So porridge and other warm cereals count but cold cereals dont?
Does porridge have stock? Isn't it just oats and grains?

Jam or brown sugar/ cinnamon?
I'm not sure but I don't think those things make it count as stock
