Is it hot?: Maybe it is the temperature of the liquid (soup) and not necessarily the fact that it's soup, and then when you drink something cooler, it soothes the area. Just a guess. Doubt it is actually the fact that it is "soup."

Some times there is Esophageal spasm can also cause Dysmotility and pain in swallowing. Acid reflux can be a possibility but at your age it is less likely.
