I believe the answer is:

hot water

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soup' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'rejuvenated her at two' is the wordplay.
'rejuvenated' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'her'+'at'+'two'='herattwo'
'herattwo' is an anagram of 'HOT WATER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hot water that I've seen before include "Taps contents" , "Trouble (if you're in it)" , "Uncomfortable predicament to be in?" , "that comes at bath time?" , "(Liquid) trouble!" .)
