"La Soupe" is a notable work by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Created in 1865, this oil painting is part of Daumier's later body of work, which often depicted social and political themes with a focus on the struggles of the working class in Paris during the 19th century. The painting is a poignant representation of the harsh realities of poverty and the working-class family life during this period.

The composition of "La Soupe" is both intimate and evocative, featuring a domestic scene where a mother is serving soup to her children. The scene is rendered with Daumier's characteristic use of loose brushwork and a muted color palette, which emphasizes the somber mood of the subject. The figures are portrayed with a sense of dignity and resilience, despite the evident hardship conveyed by their surroundings and the meager meal they are about to partake in.

Daumier, who began his artistic career as a lithographer, is best known for his satirical caricatures that critiqued the social and political landscape of France, particularly during the July Monarchy (1830–1848) and the subsequent periods. However, his paintings, such as "La Soupe," reveal a more empathetic and humanistic side to his work, offering a window into the daily lives of ordinary people with a compassionate realism that prefigures the later developments of the Realist movement in French art.

"La Soupe" is held in high regard for its historical significance and its contribution to the social realism genre. It is often cited as an example of Daumier's profound ability to capture the human condition and the social injustices of his time. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural importance.
