Soup is the sixth EP from American modern rock band A Will Away. It was released on November 20, 2019, on Triple Crown Records.[1][2]

The band recorded the EP at Steadfast Studios in Naugatuck, Connecticut, a multimedia recording studio and art center they constructed in their hometown in 2018.[3][4] For two weekends during the production of the EP, they invited fans to join them in the studio while recording.[5] Throughout the year, the band teased the EP's release with numerous photos and videos of the band with soup.[6]

It received generally positive reviews from critics. Writing for Uproxx, Zac Gelfand said the release shows that the band's "outlook is a bit more positive, making for a series of tracks about getting better, combining rock, indie, and pop influences into a unique blend of modern rock music." He named it one of the best indie releases of the week.[7] In a review for CHARMMusic Magazine, Ali Prato called it "a standout closing to 2019 music" that offers "a refreshing take to the generic pop-punk sound, with underlying chill tones." She noted the sound is a departure from their previous releases, calling it "completely unique in its presence."[8]
