You don't have to tell anyone to eat soup. You can't tell anyone to eat soup. There is no hotkey to tell anyone to eat soup. There is no mod to bind a key to a missing command that tells people to eat soup. Eating soup... that whole thing is just not available - where did you get the eating soup command thing from? You may be disappointed!

Now, if you ask your cook to make soup, then that's a whole different thing, because who needs to be told that they have to eat the special soup that the cook has made? No one! Because it's delicious. Is there a 'make soup' hot key? No, that would be silly. It's not like it's a command that would be shouted from the bridge now is it? Come to new course 120, open outer doors on tubes 1,2,3 and 4, cook soup, fire 1, fire 2, eat soup, fire 3, rinse bowls, fire 4, dive!... nah not very atmospheric is it? However, walking up to your cook in a quiet moment and seeing if he can make a special meal to raise morale, that's quite reasonable. I mean, in a simulation sense, you'd want to do it in a not so busy time, where you'd be able to stroll up to the cook, without, you know, destroyers and such depth charging you. That would be a bit weird for a sim really, a captain ordering a special meal whilst the depth charging was still going on.

You can't issue all your commands from a hotkey, but on the other hand you don't have to run round the whole boat (not ship!) to issue commands.
