"Soup" is the second album by the American rock band Blind Melon, released shortly before vocalist Shannon Hoon's fatal drug overdose. Thematically, the album is much darker than the band's multi-platinum debut. "2 X 4" is about Hoon's experience at a drug detox, the country-tinged "Skinned" is about serial killer Ed Gein, and "St. Andrew's Fall" is about suicide by jumping from a twenty story building. Alternately, "New Life" is about the birth of Hoon's daughter Nico Blue, "Wilt" is about having bad breath, although in Captain Beefheart-esque lyrics, "Galaxie" is about Hoon's experience with his car, a 1965 Ford Galaxie, and "Lemonade" is a tongue-in-cheek song about a bar brawl.

Although "Soup" never achieved the success of Blind Melon's previous effort, it has since garnered a strong cult following.
