A la soupe!

There are two words to designate soup in French (well, more if you count consommé, crême and other fancy ones):
une soupe
un potage
There are some references that explain de difference between the two, but it remains subtle. Soupe has a more traditional connotation, and typically consists of a broth with some other ingredients thrown in (vegetables, meat etc), whereas a potage is typically thickened by using pureed ingredients (e.g. vegetables) or somehing else (egg,...).

Here is a recipe for cabbage soup (soupe au chou), that also happens to be the title of a classic French comedy starring Louis de Funès
