Soup is the first course and an important part of the daily diet. To once again emphasize the importance of this dish for human health, a holiday was created - which is celebrated.
The history of soup is as old as the history of cooking. The word "soup" comes from the French "soupe", and it comes from the Latin "suppa", which means bread soaked in broth or broth. However, soup as a dish in today's understanding, which has become a daily meal, developed five centuries ago with the emergence of strong dishes that could withstand the cooking process. Moreover, in cold countries and regions, soup appeared much earlier. For example, in Ancient China, it was brewed 100 years BC.
But we are talking about soup, and not about cooking, as a method of cooking for the purpose of thermal processing of food. After all, soup is a "set" of ingredients that create a general taste and composition. And although the methods of cooking, traditions and recipes of soups developed earlier, but soups became widespread in Europe and Russia by the 18th century. Later, this dish spread throughout the world. By the way, in Russia, liquid dishes were first called chowders. The word "soup" appeared only in the time of Peter I. Broth in ancient times was called meat, fish and vegetable broths.
There are recipes for this dish in the national cuisine of any country. The soup is prepared both in summer and in winter. Soups help to fill up and restore strength, tone up. And doctors are confident in the usefulness of soups even during illness, prescribing light broths and vegetable soups to the patient to restore strength. According to doctors, soups have a beneficial effect on the body's digestive system, stimulating the production of enzymes and gastric juice, and are the prevention of cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and even cancer. But it is important to remember that you should not abuse meat, fish and mushroom soups for those who have high acidity of gastric juice and people prone to the formation of kidney stones and gout.

The first dish is an irreplaceable and important part of the human diet, it is necessary for normal life and guarantees excellent health to everyone who does not neglect it. Historians claim that recipes for soups were already known in the 1st century BC, and were first cooked in ancient Asia. In China, there is a mention of a cookbook, which is about 4,700 years old, and a significant part of the pages in it are devoted to the "Soups" section. Previously, if no soup was prepared in the house, it was believed that this was a very poor family, and doctors often prescribed broth or light soup to the patient along with medicines.
This dish came to us from ancient times. By the way, in those distant times, a family in which soup could not be served on the table was considered not particularly prosperous, because it did not have enough money to buy all the necessary ingredients.
AS IT IS.
The name itself comes from the word suppa - this is how bread soaked in broth was called in Latin. The benefits of the soup are obvious - it helps the body to produce gastric juice and necessary enzymes, thereby having a beneficial effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. If you have diseases of the digestive system, you cannot do without such a dish. In addition, in ancient times, doctors prescribed soup to patients who had colds.
FROM THE HISTORY.
Reliable evidence has been found that as early as the 1st century BC. e. soups were made in Asia. But what is there: in an ancient Chinese cookbook, which is about 4,700 years old, recipes for this dish have already been offered! In the city of Sparta, known for its harsh customs and customs, they also prepared a specific taste “Black broth” - from the meat and blood of a pig, as well as vinegar. And the warriors of the Middle Ages, being on campaigns, ate wine soup - more precisely, they were pieces of bread soaked in wine.
The residents of France are considered the biggest lovers of the first course. In the Middle Ages, French peasants ate soup twice a day (although they may well have had no other options).
PACKED.
Closer to our time, at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century, soup concentrates were invented. Their homeland is the USA, and the first dry soup was created by the Joseph Campbell Canning Company. The reason for their creation was the war: women could not devote as much time to household chores as before, and they had to save on food.
P.S. By the way, the soup made from all these vegetables turned out to be very tasty.

On April 5, the world celebrates International Soup Day. The history of this dish is perhaps as old as the history of cooking. And just as interesting.
Mixing different ingredients in one large pot to get a nutritious, easy-to-prepare dish, people have been able to for a long time. They learned to cook food only at the moment when they could come up with suitable dishes: for example, ceramic. And the word "soup" itself comes from the Latin suppa - "bread soaked in water (broth)." So, cereals, plants and meat were mixed in one pot, making up a complete, easy-to-prepare dish. By today's standards, it would rather resemble a puree soup or porridge.
One legend has it that the first real soup was chicken. The Egyptian stole a chicken, and when the servants of the law tried to catch up with him, he threw it into the water, where vegetables were already being cooked. Here's an unusual way to hide a crime.
Such a different soup
The soup was suitable for those who live in the city, for children and the sick. Each culture has used the soup to their advantage, adding their familiar foods and spices to the broth. French onion soup, Chinese won tones, Spanish gazpacho and English chowder are all variations on the same theme, inexhaustible even with the largest spoon.
Throughout history, the first dish has accompanied weddings and funerals, and religious holidays. So, in honor Saint Martin's Day in Sweden and France, goose blood soup and broth are served: it has a sweet and sour aftertaste due to the addition of spices and different types of alcohol. Not everyone is ready to try, but they say it's worth it.
Not everyone may like Russian soups either. Our turi, bread crushed into kvass, and turnip stews were not familiar to foreigners until the time of Peter the Great. Only in the 18th century in Russia began to call first courses soup, and foreign guests began to get used to our cuisine.
Soups in restaurants
There are some culinary historians who believe that modern restaurant culture is derived from soup. In 1765, Boulanger, a Parisian entrepreneur, opened a shop specializing in concentrated soups. He posted a sign: “ Come to me, all those suffering from stomach, and I will restore you "... Restore in French means "restaurer". The word began to be used for establishments where you could eat. Including soup, and not simple meat with vegetables as in ordinary taverns. Broths and consomme became popular among Parisians. And later they spread everywhere.
In his culinary reference famous French critic Auguste Escoffierwrote that the classic form - broth and vegetables - the soup acquired only at the beginning of the 19th century. It is stew soups that remind us of old traditions when several types of meat are mixed together. For example, the French Christmas potted soup Petit Marmite » with beef tails and chicken: broth and meat are served to guests together, and vegetables are on a separate plate.
Bouillon cube and iron jar
Advances in science allowed soups to take various forms: it became dry, "pocket", canned. In the 19th century, extracts from beef, veal and poultry appeared - these were the prototypes of modern bouillon cubes. The broth was evaporated so that it became as thick as possible, after which it was dried. The tiles were taken with them by travelers and sailors, and in addition they were sold in pharmacies for the treatment of patients.
The next step was the canning of the soup in iron cans. Tomato soup has become especially popular Campbell's - today one of the symbols of American culture.
In 1869, fruit seller Joseph Campbell, together with freezer seller Abraham Andrersen, founded Campbell Companyand in 1897 the famous soup was created. By the early 1960s, every American household had a stock of eight cans of cheap but tasty canned food, and the company was making millions of dollars.
