Answer:

US Pints: 2.5, Imperial Pints: ~2.1 (If you live in the US, do 2.5, but if not, then do ~2.1.)

Explanation:

To do this, we need to convert fluid ounces to US pints. To do this, you divide the amount of fluid ounces by 16. When we divide 40 by 16, we get 2.5. This means that the soup needs 2.5 pints of water. If you are talking about imperial pints, then we divide the amount of fluid ounces by 19.215. This gets us 2.08, which we can round to 2.1. If you live in the US, do 2.5, but if not, then do ~2.1. I hope this helps!
