My first thought was to post about the amazing soup cookbooks I have on my shelf, but then I thought about all the soup recipes in all the other cookbooks!. A few months ago it was Breakfast Month and I loved hunting for great recipes and stories in the cookbook collection, so this month, I'm going to pick out some old favorite cookbooks and some new cookbooks and explore the world of soup.
Because I so love food history, I also love to explore a bit about the past relationships between humans and different foods, but soup is tough, because humans have been eating soup since they learned to weave waterproof baskets and drop hot stones into water, or hang a deer hide over the fire and filling that with fire, knowing if they kept the level of water above the level of the fire, the hide would not burn.
But there are some fun websites out there! The Food Timeline, created by Lynne Oliver has a very nice overview of soups around the world. Netflix has a documentary on Korean soups called A Nation of Broth - three episodes highlighting different Korean Soups.
We do have a collection of books that are soup forward - Check that collection out here!
And here are some great soup-ish things from around the Internet - some are a little longer, some a little shorter, but all about SOUP!
