The soup being poured over /broken bat.
This is a speech about Thatcher.. when she was died. Can you please explain what does it mean "the soup being poured over"?.. a person? and what is "broken bat"?
It is hardly a surprise that Baroness Thatcher was careless over the soup being poured over Lord Howe, given that she was perfectly prepared to send him out to the wicket with a broken bat.

To be in the soup is to be in trouble for something you've done wrong. In the game of cricket, the batsman uses his bat to hit the ball to prevent it from hitting the wicket . If the batsman's bat was already broken when he started it would be impossible for him to play well.
