Soup Recipes
BRR! It’s definitely a soup day! A delicious soup can satisfy hunger and sooth the soul. We hope you enjoy these delicious soup recipes - from quick soups to satisfying simmers. Soup goes all the way back to the Middle Ages, when soup did not mean a liquid dish, but a piece of bread cooked in the liquid; the bread was eaten and the liquid thrown away. The original meaning of the word "soup" means "sop" - get it? The bread was "sopped" in the soup. The word "minestrone" comes from the Italian verb ministrare, which once meant putting the "sop" in the soup. Italy is still putting the "sop" in the soup - but it eats the soup, too, in the form of.......pasta!
