Did you know that soup is considered to be one of the first
fast foods? It's true! The history of soup is closely
intertwined with the history of cooking, and among the
earliest was a version that combined peas, lentils and beans
for a quick and easy meal. Since then, soup has evolved into a
mealtime favorite that is everything from quick and easy to
sophisticated and elegant. During the cold nights of winter, a
bowl of hot, nourishing soup will warm you up and satisfy
those comfort-seeking taste buds.
