"Drink" or "Eat" a soup?

Question

I would like to know which is the correct way of telling it in english: I drink my soup (because it is liquid) or I eat my soup (because it is food).

Answer 1

Neither.................Sip is the word

Answer 2

Drinking suggests that your thirsty and you hold it in your hand eg. cup however it is perculiar to "drink" soup with a spoon..., but i guess that if it is in a cup...aka..."cup of soup" then yeah "drink", in my opinion eat describes the soup best because when you eat food it covers soups aswell. The hard thing about english is that there is more than one way of describing something, for example.....is this a bright idea? or a smart idea? they are both equally correct ... it just depends on what terms you use it ;)

Answer 3

Eat the soup

Answer 4

it can both ways because soup is a food and when u think of food u say eat, but soup is a liquid and when u think of liquid you think of drink. so u could just say "i ate some some soup today" or "I drank some soup today". it can go either way, there's no right or wrong way of saying it.

Answer 5

eat your soup if it has stock in it. Drink if it is a broth

Answer 6

drink a cup of broth...eat a cup of soup

Answer 7

you "eat" soup.

Answer 8

Eat it with a spoon.

Answer 9

i guess its both i dont really know
