Soup Lore
Soup
dates back as early as 6000 BC. Preparing a combination of ingredients in a pot
was ideal for both sedentary and traveling cultures. Over time they evolved to
reflect regional food choices.
Think Spanish gazpacho and Italian minestrone
and you get the idea.
The
word itself relates to the act of soaking food and can be traced back to the Latin
verb suppare which was borrowed from
the same prehistoric German root (sup-) as produced in English supper. Of note: the noun suppa passed into Old French as soupe.
Soup
can be made from almost any combination of ingredients and many a tasty version
has been ‘discovered’ while experimenting. This personalization makes it ideal
for family foodlore.
