[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT-4o]

To determine the smallest number of weeks it will take Jasmine to eat all of her soup, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total number of tins of soup Jasmine has:
\[
\text{Total tins} = \text{Number of packs} \times \text{Tins per pack} = 23 \times 4 = 92
\]

2. Determine the maximum number of tins Jasmine can eat each week:
\[
\text{Maximum tins per week} = 5
\]

3. Calculate the number of weeks required to eat all the tins:
\[
\text{Number of weeks} = \left\lceil \frac{92}{5} \right\rceil
\]

Perform the division to find the approximate number of weeks:
\[
\frac{92}{5} = 18.4
\]

4. Since Jasmine can't eat a fraction of a week, round up to the nearest whole number:
\[
\left\lceil 18.4 \right\rceil = 19
\]

Therefore, the smallest number of weeks it will take Jasmine to eat all of her soup is \( \boxed{19} \).
