How can you tell the difference of between a soup and tomato soup?

Tomato soup is a specific type of soup. It's a soup made with tomatoes as the primary ingredient.

Think of it like this:

* Soup is a broad category, like "fruit." It can be made with many different ingredients.

* Tomato soup is a specific type of soup, like "apple." It's a soup made with tomatoes.

So, every tomato soup is a soup, but not every soup is a tomato soup.

To tell the difference, simply look at the ingredients. If the soup is made primarily with tomatoes, it's tomato soup!
