Perhaps same indo euro root there.
From Digital Pāḷi Dictionary
sūpa 1
masc. dahl; lentil curry; sauce ●
sūpa 2
masc. soup ●
Pronunciation
'ū' is pronounced the same as pāḷi 'u', except timing is held twice as long.
so 'soup' is pronounced same as 'sūp'.
Dhp 64 – (fool attending wise man whole life ↔ spoon doesn’t know taste of soup)
♦ 64. | |
♦ yāvajīvampi ce bālo, | Though all his life a fool |
paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati. | associates with a wise man, |
♦ na so dhammaṃ vijānāti, | he no more comprehends the Truth |
dabbī sūpa-rasaṃ yathā. | than a spoon tastes the flavor of the soup. |
