From what I can tell the main ingredients are:

Filtered Water, Maltodextrin, Soy Protein Isolate, High Oleic Algal Oil, Isomaltulose, Canola Oil, Rice Starch, Oat Fiber, Isomaltooligosaccharide.

So water, misc carb powders, protein powder, and misc high mono unsaturated fat oils. Yes they also add some vitamins/minerals etc. But essentially its just water, powder, and oil.

I'm not sure if your question was fuelled by your interest in making this a main part of your diet, or if it already is, or if you were asking in jest?

Oh no, it was definitely a serious question. When the product came out, I was excited about replacing atleast one of my meals (probably dinner) with Soylent. I held off because I was uncomfortable switching to something that can potentially have negative long term health consequences. I was just wondering if there were any studies done on people that were purely on a soylent diet to feel more comfortable about drinking it.
