Hmmm. Since breakfast cereal is demonstrably soup, that makes strawberries, Cheerios, and Reese's Puffs all vegetables. Good to know.

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

Great word, topological.
