Is soup a food or beverage?

[Morning Glory]

You could therefore say that any smoothie that is too thick to drink without the aid of a spoon is also a food.

I have other words to describe smoothies...

Normally, soup is eaten from a bowl with a spoon. The people who put soup into a mug and try and drink it are the ones who are confusing the issue! They usually end up with using a spoon at the end anyway.
So, it's a food.

Yes its a food. What is all this about smoothies? My friend has them for breakfast sometimes and I just say 'soup for breakfast again?'.
