soupcon

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

'a bit torn' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'the coupon's' is the wordplay.
'coupon's' anagrams to 'SOUPCON'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'got' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
