Answer:

a good thermal conductor

Step-by-step explanation:

you are trying to heat it up so you want the heat to pass through the pot (or whatever you are heating it up in) to get to the soup

if you were trying to keep your soup warm, like if you were trying to bring it to lunch, you would want a good thermal insulator so the heat stays in the soup and does not pass through the container

I would want to use a thermal conductor because then I can actually heat up the soup but however if I used a thermal insulator it would just keep the soup warm but this would be no help if she was already cold
