When someone always have the cold soup is because he is supposed to be very slow. He lets the soup get cold.
When you want to say that someone is very slow, you can comment: a ese le dieron la sopa fría.

Might it be something like giving someone the "cold shoulder"?

Nila, why dieron? Seems like "They gave the cold soup to that guy" Why they gave, if he is the one that is slow? Just because that's how it is, or is there some other reason?
Nila, porque se usa "dieron" en esta frase. ¿No significa que otra persona le dé la sopa en esto caso? Pero, dices que él se mueve muy lentamente. Pero porque "dieron", no entiendo por qué esto significa que no es muy rápido esta persona.
Gracias.
