Soup Throughout History
To Know when boiling liquid and where it started is hard to pin point; none the less its clear that humans knew hot to boil water around 6,000 B.C., long before the invention of pottery. Man was able to figure out that putting together clay and bamboo trees or reptile shells and stomachs of animals can become the perfect vessels to hold liquids long enough in fire to boil meats and vegetable. When nothing else was available, they were smart enough to figure out on making a pit, filling it with water, meats, vegetables and throwing in hot flaming stones in the water, causing it to boil. How they managed to transport the hot stones from fire to water without scalding themselves in the process remains a mystery.
Plenty of evidence, including residue sticking to pots, tell us that man regularly consumed soup even in the Iron and Bronze Ages.
Soup today is much inventive and can be very sophisticated. Soup can be a meal, and appetizer, or even a dessert! its amazing to know how far back soup goes, but the one thing that has never changed about soup throughout history is that it is still in fact comfort food and I believe it always will.
