Sounds like it's time for a new one. They're very inexpensive, though, since you can find them for under $10 apiece. Just go ahead & buy a replacement.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize that you were talking about a laptop (thought you meant a desktop keyboard).
Assuming you can get inside the case, clean it out, & then reassemble it....if it still doesn't work, it's probably time for a new laptop. And to be honest, even if it does work after cleaning it, I'd start backing up the data & planning on replacing it anyway.

I cannot even get the computer to turn on. I thought it might be the battery since it does show signs of water stains on it but I also tried to remove the battery and plug the power cord in without the battery and still I cannot get the computer to do anything at all.
I opened it up and there is no more liquid to clean up. I am waiting for another battery I ordered to arrive but now not sure that is the part I will need to replace. I'm not sure where to start if I do need to replace parts. Do you think the motherboard is the main issue? If not, what? Thanks for all the help.

The soup may have caused a short circuit and fried your laptop. If the laptop does not turn on when plugged into the AC outlet then a new battery will not solve the problem.
A fired motherboard is most likely the issue. A new motherboard could be rather expensive. For example, checking around for a new replacement motherboard for my Lenovo IdeaPad Y470 shows that the only place to buy one is on ebay sold by a distributor from China at a cost of $180 including free international shipping.
My Nexus 7 (2012) tablet recently got fried as a result of around a teaspoon of water. It was in a bag by itself. Apparently, a little bit of water spilled into the bag from a bottle that was not tightly closed.
Not realizing a little bit of water spilled onto it because the surface was dry, I turned on the Nexus 7. The screen displayed distorted graphics for about 1 second and shut down. After that I looked in the bag and notice a bit of water, turned it upside down and I would say about a teaspoon of water spilled out.
After 7 days of letting it dry the Nexus 7 does not turn on even when plugged into the AC outlet.

Thank you for your reply. When I plug the cord in I do see the power light come on and stays on but when I press the power button, nothing. Once I did get a very quick "something" splash across the monitor but went right back off. I guess there's nothing left to do. I am more than willing to replace parts if only I knew where to start, which part I should try first.

It won't be the battery, wrong part to order. Replace the keyboard first. I've seen bad keyboards cause the system not to start.
