Oh, fun! The debate over the culinary vs botanical meaning of fruit intersecting with the debate of culinary vs topological meaning of soup.

Breakfast cereal is soup[topological] but not soup[culinary]. It is therefore not a contradiction for it to be fruit[culinary].

As some said once, a vanilla soy latte is technically a 3 bean soup

Would it be soup or broth? Soup typically has something besides liquid to it afaik
