# 4351 Soup Up?
Question
It would be very helpful for my fasting (during Tisha Beav) if I could drink a cup of diluted vegetable soup at the Seudat Hamafseketh (last meal) before the fasting begins, after eating the customary hard boiled egg. I usually drink a tea then as I know it is permitted, could I drink instead a cup of that soup?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is not permitted as it constitutes an additional food that is prohibited in that special separating meal.
