First of all, I have not deemed it "canon" I've deemed it "semi-canon". Semi-canon means there is at least romantic interest on one or both members of the ship but have yet to turn it into a relationship. "Semi-canon" is by far the most appropriate chocie for the pairing and is accurately reflective of how their relationship is portrayed.

Soma has no romantic interest in anybody else and the only person you could possibly assume to be that "special someone" is Erina since as he says the words, whilst on his way to meet Erina, "I think that special someone..." he walks into Yukihira Diner to see Erina.

On top of this, the author has openly said that he wanted the two to get married. That Asahi was included for Soma to realises his own feelings for Erina and that Erina realised her own feelings, that were later confirmed in the manga itself, when the girls of Polar Star talked about her ideal man.

I know you're very determined on this, but SouEri is by no means "fanon", I also agree that it is not canon either. The right defintion of their ship is "semi-canon".
