We "eat" soup because it usually has meat and/or vegetables in it which have to be chewed. If it were only a broth and we lifted the bowl up to our lips, or if the broth were in a cup which we raised to our lips, we then would be drinking it. But, if the broth were in a bowl, and we used a spoon to get the broth to our mouths, we would say we are "eating" the broth.
