Soup

Soup recipes have been around for centuries, with the earliest known recipe dating back to Roman times. Since then, soup has been a staple in many cultures, with each region putting its own unique spin on the dish.

The Roman recipe for soup, known as minestrone, was a simple mix of vegetables, beans and pasta. This hearty dish was a popular way to stretch out a meal and make it last longer.

Soup became even more popular during the Middle Ages, when meat was a luxury that only the wealthy could afford. So, for the average person, soup was a filling and satisfying way to get their protein.
