Soup
About
Soup is a savory liquid food that weighs about 8.5 ounces (241 g) per US cup.
Soup has a typical bulk density of about 8.5 pounds per gallon (1.02 g/mL), making it only about 2 percent heavier than plain water. Dissolved salts, fats, and small vegetable or meat particles add extra mass to the liquid. A full quart (0.95 L) weighs about 2.1 pounds (969 g), taking up the same physical space as a standard carton of milk. Clear broths weigh nearly the same as water, while thick bisques and purees are slightly heavier.
