If you ignore the fact that soup consists of discrete molecules, the answer is infinite.

In real life though, you have to get probabilities involved. Haven’t done the math yet, but I can already tell you that it’s going to take a very long time until you get to the 50/50 point of the last soup molecule being gone. Prepare for geologic time scales.
