  The Primordial Soup Myth
The primitive ocean was definitely not the primordial soup.
The concept of a primitive "thick soup" or "primordial broth" is one of the most persistent ideas at the same time that is most strongly contraindicated by thermodynamic reasoning and by lack of experimental support." - Sidney Fox, Klaus Dose on page 37 in Molecular Evolution and the Origin of Life.
The primordial soup is often envisioned as an evaporating pond next to the ocean.

  Primordial sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The primordial sea, or primordial ocean, is a term applied collectively to the oceans of the earth at a time early in its history.
The term primordial ooze is often invoked to imply the primordial sea in a more metaphorical or poetic sense.
The primordial soup refers to a particular set of models of the origin of life, but may also be used in a metaphorical sense.

To test whether a primordial pond or ocean could seed the stuff of life, some experiments were needed.
To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary for whom most consider the father of primordial chemistry, Professor Stanley Miller, of the University of California, San Diego, the Astrobiology Magazine had the opportunity to get his perspective today.
However, for life to appear elsewhere, by some similar carbon-based pathway, and then arrive later on Earth means some similar primordial soup needed to be sparked someplace else--perhaps in a reducing atmosphere as Miller first showed fifty years ago.

 PRIMORDIAL SOUP
LA JOLLA- In a simulation of the days when the Earth was covered in primordial ooze, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have synthesized pantetheine, an ingredient considered essential for the development of life on the planet.
Miller is well known for his 'primordial soup' experiment conducted in 1953.
The research provides evidence for the presence of an important ingredient in the original soup of life.

 Primordial Soup Theory
The Primordial Soup Theory suggest that life began in a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which would then evolve into all the species.
The Primordial Soup Theory states that Life began in a warm pond/ocean from a combination of chemicals that forms amino acids, which then make proteins.
This was then energized by lightning and the rain from the atmosphere created the "organic soup".

New evidence indicates that the primordial soup was, in fact, a plot foisted upon the world by Campbell's Soup Company to make us believe that soup was foundational to life.

 Re: What was the color of the primordial soup ocean?
The primordial ocean probably differed from the modern ocean in a lot of ways.
Of course, the sea would not have been polluted by people; there was no floating tar (no tar at all; it comes, ultimately, from decaying organisms), no bubbles of detergent, and no bits of plastic, paper, or wood.
If there were places where the primitive organic molecules were concentrated, such as in coastal lagoons, the water may have been cloudy, but not as cloudy as it is today in similar places.

(2004-12-22) -- The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today filed a class-action suit on behalf of monotheists seeking the removal of wetlands from government-owned property because they visually portray the 'primordial soup' where some believe life began and from which humanity evolved.
The ACLU does not oppose primordial soup displays on private property, just those funded with taxpayer dollars in national parks and on other government-controlled land.
The lawsuit seeks the destruction of all government-owned wetlands, and a refund to taxpayers of all school tax dollars paid during the past 50 years.

Charles Darwin first supposed the early Earth was a basic soup of simple organic molecules, which when sparked by sunlight, heat and lightning might have created more complex biological building blocks.
He supposed that this soup was basic literally, meaning that it was neither acidic nor neutral in pH--the measure of a solutions ability to react to neutralize hydrogen ions.
As a further comment, I suggest that at primordial times Earth may have had a warmer surface than Venus.
