"Czy ta zupa jest z mięsem?"
Translation:Does this soup contain meat?

In English it's more normal to ask if a soup has meat. So I would phrase this as "Does this soup have meat?". If you say that a soup or a stew is "with meat", it sounds more like the meat is served on the side.
Thank You for the explanation. Oh, theory is one thing, and the practical nuances of a particular language are quite different
No problem. As a sadly monoglot native English speaker I know very little about grammatical theory, but I can tell you what sounds natural.

Does this soup include meat, or variations. The argument about "with" meat is the literal translation and would be acceptable in UK English if you were presented with a list of soups and wanted to know if a particular soup included meat, which also is not accepted.
the slow reading reads the 'z' as 'zed', as if naming the letter instead of reading the word...

Czy ta zupa jest z mięsem - means: "Is this soup with meat?" However DL translation is "contain"- what means " zawiera" so the proper translation is: " Czy ta zupa zawiera mięso?"
Czy ta zupa jest z mięsem?/ Czy to (jest) zupa z mięsem? -
Does the soup/this soup/that soup have/contain meat?
Is "czy mięso jest w zupie?" another way you can ask this question "czy ta zupa jest z mięsem?" Or is the latter more natural? Thank you
Czy w (tej) zupie jest mięso? works for me.
Czy mięso jest w zupie? means "Is the meat in the soup?"
So question... why use the verb mieć to talk about a refrigerator with meat in it, but być when talking about a soup with meat in it?

Jeżeli kanapka z mięsem to "meat sandwich" to dlaczego nie mogę zapytac o zupę: "Is this meat soup?"

In my opinion different answers suggested above are correct. The reflect the meaning of the polish sentence. We're studying POLISH here, not English!
