soup's

Bowl of broth's

Soup's is the contracted form of "soup is" or "soup has," appearing almost exclusively in the informal phrase soup's on! —an announcement that a meal is ready and waiting.

The phrase dates from when soup was a common first course, but now signals any meal: Soup's on, everybody!
