What is the History of homemade soup?

Before stores were able to rely on modern modes of transportation, soups were made at home from foods that were regionally available.

That is one of the reasons there are so many recipes for homemade soup out there!

Soups have been warming us for thousands of years. Watery gruel is likely the origin of soup as we know it.

From 1150 to about 1500 the word soupen meant “to drink in sips.” Soup, supper, and sip are derivatives of this word.

Historians believe that soup was the foundation of the first public restaurants in Paris in the 18th century.

Soups such as consommé, bouillion and broths were served in these early “restoratifs”. The word restaurant derives from this term.

In the 19th century canned and dehydrated soups came into use. This kept soldiers and cowboys fed.

Doctor John T. Dorrance, a chemist working with the Campbell Soup Company, invented the first condensed soup in 1897. Since then Americans have been consuming soups in huge numbers.

Modern day soups have many varieties such as gluten free, low carb, low salt and microwaveble soups.
