of course. on the suit of which it is TO

HOW ABOUT SOUP?

Soup, as an economical form of food
that utilities leftovers, has become a
veritable war dish. We understand the
thirty French pot-au-feu nowadays
soup pot into which all sorts of odds
from which they emerge in all sorts of
delicious broths, purees and soups.
There has in the past been a good
deal of controversy about the origin of
soup. We have all read of the black
soup that formed a staple dish of the
Spartans. And Homer speaks of soup.
too. But Homer's soup was doubtless
onion broth. And the black soup of the
Spartans was probably of vegetable
makeup.
The modern sort of soup, with meat
juice as a foundation, very possibly
was not known until the fifteenth cen
fury. And from that time to this it
has been an important article of diet
The greatest cooks have thought a new
sort of soup worthy their efforts, and
no cook who cannot prepare good soups
is considered worthy his hire.
There is sixteenth century recipe
for soup. one of the earliest soup
recipes. written by Jack of Newbury
in his "Hystorie of hys Life" IF any
of ye men should catch and bringe in
an olde hare" he writes. you will have
a prize, albeit he is very harde eating.
Steve him as long as We VIII, and hys
f1eshe will be naught but shoe leather,
but" he goes on to say, with a little
good stuffe from the garden, he makes
very good supping," and. he says, Bye
these means you Will save much money
in ye years, whereby you might better
maintain your wife's French hoode and
silke gowne.
And so it is of many good soups
nowadays-they save money. Perhaps
we don't want the money nowadays for
a French hood and silk gown, but We
do want it for something.
1t is Interesting that soup has at
tracted the attention of most of the
great novelists. Dumas. especially. was
fond Of making new recipes for soup
onion soup was his favorite-and, of
course. he took as much pleasure in
writing Of his soups in eating them.
Many of the carly soups, and many
of the soups that are still famous as
national dishes, were almost more like
, stews than soups. Some of the other
So-called soups were uncooked dishes.
One, a great dish in Andalusia, a
mixture of onions. oil. vinegar, water,
cucum bers and cubes of bread, of soup
like consistency but eaten quite cold.
