    I would have a cuppa soup as a hot drink
    But a nice home made soup with bits in - in a dish with some nice bread - i would call a soup  :D

    The only time I've had a beverage with lumps in, is when the milk turned ... so a soup is a soup

    I always have soup in a mug, so can be classed as a beverage  but it is also a food.

    If you were in a restaurant & asked about their soups, I doubt they'd be offered in a mug. If you enquired about their beverages, this would usually be taken to mean something like tea, coffee or a non-alcoholic drink.
    The definition of soup is a liquid food; that for a beverage being something you drink, but not all soups are potable, or suitable for drinking, so I'd say, as far as common usage goes, soup is not a beverage.

    Yes it can be a beverage so is ice cream because it's mostly fluid.

    Some really interesting views here and all are important <3 

    I always use a spoon with my mug of soup :D but I can see the argument it is a beverage, especially with cold soups and thinner broths.
