9 people, 6 fluid ounces each
Total of 54 fluid ounces of soup.
Amount of needed water: 4.75 cups
4.75%2Acups%2A8%28fluidounces%2Fcup%29=38%2Afluidounces_of_water
If the rest of the soup will be filled volume from other ingredients, then those will account for:
54-38=16, 16 fluid ounces, or about 2 cups.
