Soup Day written and illustrated by Melissa Iwai

A girl and her mother spend a snowy afternoon together buying and preparing ingredients for soup.  While the soup is simmering, mother and daughter read and have a tea party.  Melissa Iwai’s web site has beautiful illustrations from her books as well as printable activity sheets.

Other delightful children's books about soup include Growing Vegetable Soup written and illustrated by Lois Ehlert, also available in Spanish, and Mean Soup written and illustrated by Betsy Everitt, also available in Chinese.
