Soup is immensely popular. It is warm and nourishing. It is perhaps the ultimate comfort food complete with childhood memories of blustery winter days. It is the age-old remedy of choice for soothing a sore throat. From the four star restaurant to the country diner, soup is featured on just about every menu.
