Some think may be a soup of amino acids and lipids gave rise to some primitive proto-cell that got things started, others say more of a sandwhich (similar to the first, but under pressure.) Undersea vents have many of the raw materials for life, and would be protected from harmful UV radiation (before plants came around, there was little oxygen in the atmosphere and consequently no ozone.)
Sorry, I did not quote you correctly. You said "soup" not sludge. My bad.
Maybe I am not explaining it well. The idea is that as organic molecules and compounds formed (organic meaning they contain carbon, not that they are "living sludge", certain chemical reactions and interactions occur that could possibly have lead to the development of the first rudimentary forms of life.
Here is some guy's website discussing these sort of things.
