HM Soups
Soup is a liquid food made of especially meat, fish, or vegetable stock as a base and often containing pieces of solid food.
The word soup derives from the Latin word ‘suppa’, which refers to bread soaked in broth. It was popularised in the 1600s by the French ‘soupe’. The word is also found in Proto-Germanic language as ‘sup’, which means ‘to make liquid’.
Since soups are mostly liquid, they’re a great way to stay hydrated and full. They are filled with veggies and disease fighting nutrients so they boost the immune system and help the whole family in staving off colds and flus in the winter months.
It is believed that the first bowl of soup was prepared around 20,000 BC. and that early people began cooking broths as soon as they discovered making mud vessels and clay pots.
