Soup is a liquid dish that can contain a verity of food matter including meat, vegetables, and grain.

Hence, it is a soup.

I read that the word "soup" is for broth. In cereal I think the milk (or water) just activates the cereal, so probably not. But there are some sad cereals where the milk becomes better than the cereal, these can be soups, but I won't be eating them.

The milk is the broth.

By the same logic a dolphin is a fish.

No, dolphins are mammals because they possess mammary glands, breath air, and have horizontal tails instead of vertical tails.

Indeed, I was being deliberately reductionist.

Dolphin is not a fish.
Milk is not a broth.

False, as dolphins do not possess the quality to be a fish.

But milk possess the qualities to be a broth.

Milk can be a component to a broth, but is by itself not a broth. It's not infused with aromas and flavors from vegetables or meat.

Otherwise plain water can be a broth. Heck, coca-cola can be a broth. Might even be more a broth than milk, given it's been infused with...something.

This is utter madness and you surely know it.

That is correct.

Some soups have broths made only of water, with the main components coming from the bits in the soup.

Apparently if you boil them in milk it makes them into fish.

Ordering the dolphin broth? Legal. Your defense is that you didn't expect it to really be dolphin.
Boiling a dolphin in milk? Most places, this is illegal. But what happens in the kitchen ...
Eating the dolphin broth you ordered? Legal. It doesn't taste much like fish, but apparently it is.

Soup = solids and broth.
Broth = water infused with the flavor of fruit, vegetables and/or meat (including fish). does NOT include finely mixed solids like milkshakes.

Milk = not soup. Water with ice = not soup. Protein shakes = not soup.

Unless it's made by a woman. All men can make broth, but no women can ... brother.

Nope. Never seen a restaurant having cereals with milk as the soup of the day.

Miso Soup is only Water+Miso Paste.

The miso paste does not dissolve with the water, so if you let it cool and leave it alone for long enough the water and miso will split into 2 different sections. But we're not calling miso soup a cereal now, are we?

Hence, the hot water acts as a broth for the miso.

Basically anything suspended in water will separate from it given enough time.

What you have described is a broth.
