DOESN'T SOUP COUNT?

A Deep and Controversial Examination of a Question That's Been Bothering You for Years

For too long, the world has struggled with the age-old conundrum: Does soup count as a meal? We're talking about the kind of soup that's just, like, a vessel of liquid and some noodles, not the kind that's actually a meal, like a hearty, slow-cooked beef stew or a rich and creamy bisque.

Our research team has spent years studying this phenomenon, and we've come to a resounding conclusion: it doesn't matter.

That's right, folks. Whether you're slurping down a lukewarm bowl of chicken noodle or savoring the rich, velvety texture of a creamy tomato soup, the answer is clear: soup is, in fact, a meal. But also, it's not.

Or is that just a cop-out?
