If you are referring to the brand Uncle Jim's Duk Soup, or something similar, then here are a few things to try:

Grind up some of her regular kibble in a food processor and add some in with the Duk Soup mix. You can also add in some Ferretvite or Ferretone. After adding water, mix and heat SLIGHTLY in the microwave, maybe 10 seconds. It creates a strong aroma that that often will get the ferret interested. Also, add a little water as she eats, since the soup tends to thicken up.

When introducing new foods, whether soup or something else, it can take a few tries to get the ferret to like it. Putting some on your finger or putting a little on their gums can get them accustomed to the taste. This has worked for us many times.
