I believe it came from the era of the Great Depression when consumers had very little money. However, if you had soup on your dinner table you were doing much better than some. If you were "crying in your soup" then you were not being grateful or appreciating the very fact that you had soup and were crying when others had it soucj worse.
The idea is that some people are never satisfied; if you have soup, you should be happy to have it, rather than crying into it. One could argue that there is more to life than soup (which is true) but it is also true that you should appreciate what you have. There are certainly people in this world who would love to have a bowl of soup.
Crying in a bucket is a very popular phrase in the modern day. This means to contain your internal sadness.
For crying out loud is a minced oath, in place of "for Christ's sake."
