El DRAE lo confirma:

2. m. Ven. Sopa hecha con caldo de gallina, pollo o camarones al que se le añade leche, granos de maíz, trocitos de patata y queso.
chupé.

En varios sitios en Internet, por tratarse del nombre del platillo regional, lo dejan en español, tal cual, (así como los mexicanos no traduciríamos la palabra \"mole\" o \"pozole\").

Un ejemplo:

\"Chupe de Camarones:  \"Chupe\" is a thick, cream soup made with prawns and using two of the Inca\'s greatest contributions to the world of gastronomy: potatoes and capsicum... a meal in itself...\"

agree  Refugio: Now that I recall, there is also a chupe verde that includes peas and green herbs, has a flavor similar to that given by the Mexican chepiche.

  -> Mmmm ¶:^d ¡Qué rico! Muchas gracias y saludos, Ruth ¶:^)
disagree  IRCS: You need to specify the country of origin. In Mexican slang, this would be synonimous with "drink", "drinking" and it is widely accepted among lower-to- middle class urban slang.

agree  Rebecca Fincher: Oso's description is correct, and chupe de camarones is excellent; I think chowder is an accurate English equivalent. In Peru, I only encountered soups called chupes; the potato/egg/fish dishes were not called by that name.

agree  Refugio: There is chupe rojo (tomato-based) and chupe blanco (made with milk, potatoes, corn and sometimes peas), sort of like Manhattan and New England-style clam chowder in the US. There may be other types as well.

  -> Thank you for the extra information.
agree  Terry Burgess: Basically Jack, I'm agreeing with you because you're the only other colleague to state "chowder"--albeit after me---and also because I respect you enormously--saw [and endorsed] your recent tribute at ProZ. Good luck! Terry:-)

chupe


Explanation:
Es uno de los platos peruanos más deliciosos que he probado (porsiaca soy peruana ;) Consulté con mi mamá y el sabiondo de mi hermano y me dijeron que la característica principal del chupe es que lleva leche. He aquí una receta para el chupe especial (chupe de camarones)que no es caro como lo podría ser en EE.UU. por ejemplo.

Preparar un ahogado con ajos molidos, manteca, tomates, cebolla, orégano, salsa de tomate, pimienta y sal; luego, agregar un poco de camarones cocidos y molidos, más unas cucharadas de agua caliente, para dejar hervir un rato. Poco después, colar el caldo y ponerlo nuevamente a hervir, agregándole un poco más de agua calidente y un poco de arroz molido, para que espese; además, un poco de arvejas tiernas, rajas de choclo (mazorca de maíz) y papas amarillas. una vez bien cocido y antes de retirar del fuego, echar varios huevos batidos, leche, queso fresco, trozos de pescado frito, camarones pelados y huevos enteros. Con un último hervor, ya estará listo.

Espero que te ayude a dar una idea de lo que es el famoso Chupe :)

un trago


Explanation:
una copa
Eso es en México un chupe, una bebida y hasta muchas cuando se van de chupe lo jóvenes.
Modalidad que todavía no está aceptada quizá, pero muy común entre los que van a ir a una fiesta donde habrá bebidas con alcohol (coloquial)"Vámonos de chupe", me "eché un chupe"

disagree  IRCS: El término se acepta como sustantivo, como verbo, "chupar", exactament en la forma en la que la usas. El uso está definido y aceptado y aparece en la literatura reciente de escritores contemporáneos; además de su uso en la frontera norte...
17 hrs
  -> Exacto, lo usé como sustantivo y nunca como verbo aunque sé que existe. Gracias por ponerme al día, en mis tiempos irse de chupe o echarse un chupe, dependía del sector y no lo aceptaban al cien. Gracias IRCS una vez más
