Crossword Genius

Shares the soup (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stock

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'shares' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'soup' is the second definition.
(stock is a kind of soup)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stock that I've seen before include "soup ingredient" , "Equestrian tie" , "Consomm-like liquid" , "Wares" , "Neck adornment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
