This package (and all packages on squeaksource.com can be installed with 
the Monticello Browser or with Installer. If you're using Squeak 4.1 or 
4.2 alpha, then you can open Monticello Browser from the Tools menu of the 
Docking Bar (on the top of the screen). If you're using an earlier 
version of Squeak, then open the desktop menu, select Open... then select 
Monticello Browser (btw the SqueakMap Package Loader can also be found in 
this menu).

If the Monticello Browser is open, then add the repository of Soup and 
load the latest version. If you never used the Monticello Browser, then 
you'll find this link useful (the images are a bit outdated, but this part
seems to be ok): http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/43#Opening%20a%20Repository

If you want to use Installer to install this package, then evaluate the 
following in a workspace:

Installer squeaksource
 	project: 'Soup';
 	install: 'Soup'
