Liquid food caught on? Just a touch (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soupcon

'just a touch' is the definition.

'liquid food caught on?' is the wordplay.
'liquid food' becomes 'soup' (I've seen this before).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'soup'+'c'+'on'='SOUPCON'

(Other definitions for soupcon that I've seen before include "suspicion" , "Tiny quantity" , "Hint" , "Dash" , "Small amount of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
