I was living with my friend, and she had cooked a green soup. She asked me if I wanted it, but I was not hungry at that time. Later, she was not at home, and I had it. When she arrived, I told her:
J - Hey, I had the green
V - What?
J - I ate the green
Of course, she started laughing at me. After, she corrected me:
V - You should say soup and not soap.
We both laughed.
To be honest, this is a word that I still have problem. Another day, I was talking with my roommate and I said again soap instead of soup. I am working on it.
This is a funny video about it, and it will help you to see the correct pronunciation of these words.
