"The Soup" is the 93rd episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. This was the seventh episode of the sixth season. It aired on November 10, 1994.
George flirts with Kelly (Tracy Kolis), a waitress from Monk's Café, and Elaine has just returned from a trip to England with Mr. Pitt. She met a man there and has flown him back with her frequent-flyer miles. Kenny Bania (Steve Hytner), an obnoxious comedian, offers Jerry a brand-new Armani suit for free. Bania delivers the suit but insists Jerry should buy him a meal in exchange. Meanwhile, after his kidney stone ("The Gymnast"), Kramer decides to dump his refrigerator and eat only fresh foods.
Kelly, the waitress, and George go for a walk. George mentions how he likes the word "manure", and immediately after, Kelly makes a casual remark revealing that she has a boyfriend. Later, at Jerry's apartment, Jerry and George speculate whether she made that up to avoid George and whether the manure comment had anything to do with it.
Kramer starts dating Hildy, a waitress at Reggie's, and her appetite forces him to go to Jerry's apartment for food. Jerry and Bania meet up at Mendy's restaurant for the agreed-upon meal, but Bania only orders soup, which, he says, cannot count as the "meal". Simon, the Englishman, becomes arrogant and doesn't seem to have plans to return to England. He turns out to be a real "".
George is feeling uncomfortable in Monk's with Kelly around, because the playful banter that he enjoyed with her before he asked her out has been replaced on her part with a cold formality that borders on rudeness. After asking his girlfriend Hildy, Kramer informs George that Kelly doesn't have a boyfriend, so she did invent the story earlier. Bania joins George and Jerry at the coffee shop; this time he orders a soup and sandwich, Jerry believes his obligation is fulfilled, but Bania disagrees as they didn't eat in a fancy restaurant like Mendy's. In order to get rid of Bania, Jerry offers the Armani suit to Simon, who willingly accepts it.
