I've never heard anyone say "drinking soup" in any language. Soup is eaten, not drunk, especially when it contains solid pieces.

I don't eat or drink soup. I simply have soup and it's not an indication of possession: What are you eating? I'm having soup. But I imagine in Swedish the equivalent (jag har soppa) would mean that I possess soup, not that I'm consuming it.
