know acts that way. But I have no idea how anyone holds on this
question. I can't ever recall seeing someone having a meal of wine
and soup. There is either both bread and wine, or bread without
wine, or neither bread nor wine. But wine and soup without
bread?>><br>
<br>
My deduction was from the absence of a beracha when people eat bread
and soup without wine (see my comment to RCB).<br>
<br>
RAZ has informed me offlist, however, that Rabbi Kanievsky is of the
opinion that someone who eats wine and soup without bread should not
make a bracha on his soup (see footnote 8 in his (RAZ's) essay
"What's the Truth About ... Making Berachot After Kiddush?". I
asked if he (RCK) rules that such a person must make a bracha when
he eats bread and soup without wine, and he (RAZ) didn't know. So I
don't know whether this ruling is because of safek brachos l'hakel
or whether its because he (RCK) holds that, me'ikkar hadin, soup is
a mashkeh.<br>
