Soup
Soup is a liquid
food that is made by combining ingredients, such as
meat,
vegetables or
legumes in
stock or hot
water, until the flavor is extracted, forming a
broth. Boiling was not a common cooking technique until the invention of waterproof containers (which probably came in the form of pouches made of
clay or animal skin) about 5,000 years ago.

SOUP (protocol)
SOUP (Simple Offline Usenet Protocol) is a standard, similar to
QWK, for reading and posting to
Usenet using an offline reader. It never attained much popularity, but it provided a convenient method of Usenet access during the brief period of the 1980s when it was easy to get a dial-up shell account, but
Operating System limitations made it impossible or difficult to use
SLIP or
PPP.
