Have the teeniest bit of broth, do (7)

I believe the answer is:

soupcon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'have the teeniest bit' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'broth do' is the wordplay.
'broth' becomes 'soup' (I've seen this before).
'do' becomes 'con' (both can mean to defraud).
'soup'+'con'='SOUPCON'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soupcon that I've seen before include "Very tiny amount" , "Dash" , "A vary small quantity, just a trace - from France" , "A very small quantity, from French" , "Hint" .)
