Rfv-sense x 4:
 * 1) To provide soup or a meal.
 * 2) To dine on soup, to eat soup.
 * 3) To soak up liquid or sauce from a dish with a piece of bread and eat it.
 * 4)  To improve something by making it more powerful, elaborate or impressive (Cf. soup up:)

The first three are plausible, but it would definitely be nice to know if they are current or dated or literary. The last informal sense may not exist apart from soup up:. If it is deemed worthwhile, then we should make sure that this page has an etymology reflecting the "influence" of supercharge: on this sense. DCDuring TALK 00:53, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The third one may be getting confused with sop. 81.142.107.230 15:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added a photography sense with citations, and cited the "to provide with soup" sense, and tagged it as an uncommon variant of "to [[feed]]". The other senses I've deleted as RFV-failed. - -sche (discuss) 19:32, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
