Noun

soupe f (plural soupes)

1. (Guernsey, Jersey) soup, broth
   • 1903, Edgar MacCulloch, “Proverbs, Weather Sayings, etc.”, in Guernsey Folk Lore‎, page 513:

     S'il ne l'a en breuf, il l'aira en soupe.

     If he does not get it in broth, he'll get it in soup.

   • 2013 March, Geraint Jennings, “Mar martello”, in The Town Crier‎, archived from the original on 13 March 2016, page 20:

     Trop d'couques gâtent la soupe sans doute, et ché s'sait mus d'penser coumme tchi agrandi la pâte ou affêtchi la soupe au run d'hèrtchîngni tréjous pouor la manniéthe d'la cop'thie, ou la manniéthe dé couté ou d'dréch'rêsse.

     Too many cooks no doubt spoil the broth, and it'd be better to think about how to make the pie bigger or thicken the soup instead of always arguing over how to carry out the cutting or what type of knife or ladle to use.
