Personally, I don �t say either. I use "have."

I �m going to have some soup. I had some soup in the morning. Etc.

We discussed about it, too, just a short time ago.
You eat your soup in English, even if in Turkish we drink it Smile

Reem�s devilish first sentence reminds me of the time I lol�d at the spelling of a building in Oxford. I cringed inside when I was informed that the Freind Room was named after someone called Freind.

By the way, I tend to drink soup from a mug - particularly if it �s thin.

Use a spoon = eat.
 
Straight from bowl, cup, or mug = drink.

I don �t drink or eat my soup....I slurp my soupWink.
slurping soup is a sign of approval and appreciation of the cooking....!

Well, it depends on the consistency of the soup, like in Turkey (congratulations TURKEY), I cook liquid soups as does my Mum - so they are more to drink than eat, but there are people who do it in a very dense way, like the Italians for instance, so in this case there �s no other possibility, we do eat such soups! Plus what MoodyMoody says....
