Chicken soup spill in car, now an odor, what to use?

I got oriental chicken soup from a deli along with some sandwiches a few weeks ago. The idiot who packed the bag for me didn’t put the cover on the soup all the way. So, of course, on the way home from the place, I turned a corner and the bag tipped over. The lid popped off the this very, very strong smelly Korean soup poured itself all over my cloth car seats and went down the seat and in-between the back rest of the seat and saturated itself into the carpeting.
I have no stains, thank goodness, but this horrible strong smell lingers in the car.
I’ve used:
1. Resolve carpet cleaner, three times
2. McGuires car interior deodorizing clearer, four times
3. Simple Green cleaner, diluted, twice
4. Dawn Dish detergent, with warm soapy water (recommended by the dealer) and a sponge, really rubbed it in and then did a warm clear water rinse.

Nothing has worked. I would say that the Dawn seemed to cut the odor a bit. I left the car sitting with the window wide open and the sunroof open in the garage for the last three days.
I can still smell it.
So, what would you do?
I’m willing to try anything, 24 months left on my lease and I’m stuck with this.
I was thinking of Pine Sol cleaner, as it has a strong scent and maybe that would kill the smell.
I also did try a Yankee Candle clean cotton scented air freshener in there for awhile and that made me ill combined with the soup smell that lingers.
Darn car, it only has about 10K miles on it and it still had that nice “new car smell” until this.
I’ll never own a car with cloth seats again, leather for me from now on, but in the meantime……
Forgot to add that I also sprayed Febreze on it a few times, to no avail.
I’d worry that a shower cleaning product would bleach the color out of the carpet and cloth seats, so I wouldn’t dare try that. One time, I was using a shower/bathtub cleaner and leaned against the side of the tub while I was cleaning it and it acutally bleached the color out in a line across my belly, where I was leaning. So, I just wouldn’t dare do that on a 1 year old leased vehicle.
