Potatoes cream soup
Cream soup is a thickened soup containing prepared white sauce. There are a variety of soups, such as clear soup, chowders and even dessert soups and among all these, cream soups are largely popular as a base for making various dishes.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’.In Xianrendong Cave, Jiangxi Province, China, the first example of a soup bowl was discovered and thought to date back to 20,000 BC. The ancient pottery showed scorch marks, which would suggest the user was making a hot soup of some kind. While this is the earliest example of a soup bowl, ancient soup makers may have simply dug a pit, lined it with animal skin or gut, filled this “pot” with water and dropped in some hot rocks.The use of hot rocks to boil water was a known practice amongst Neanderthals around this time. Indeed, boiling water is thought to follow roasting, and precede baking. Neanderthals were thought to have boiled bones to render fats that prevent protein poisoning. The result was a drinkable broth created in the water.Conquering the ancient world for over 500 years, the Roman Empire had a big impact on the history of ancient soup. They brought the recipe of Gazpacho to Southern Spain, where it became a region famous for the dish. They also created Minutal Apicianum, a traditional wedding soup.With the 20th century came more technological advances in soup. In 1958, Nissin Foods in Japan developed a dried ramen noodle soup using a dried soup stock and a nest of dried noodles. Adding boiling water to these simple ingredients creates a delicious and convenient soup. The soup industry is a thriving industry of innovation and taste. This billion–pound industry has come a long way from its humble origins as a bone broth in a cave to becoming a regular feature of larders all over the world. Today, Campbell’s Tomato, Cream of Mushroom, and Chicken Noodle Soup are three of the most popular soups in America. Americans consume approximately 2.5 billion bowls of these three soups alone each year Meanwhile in the UK, Campbell’s Soup has created four flavours, including: Cream of Tomato, Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Celery and Cream of Chicken. These flavours remain a popular and stable choice of soup. Nowadays, soup is very popular as either a standalone meal or an ingredient in other recipes.Cream soup can either be prepared with meat products or with vegetables such as tomato, mushroom and even potato. Various cuisines have different style of making this thick broth and serving techniques are also distinct. Generally, in restaurants, cream soups are available readily as compared to clear soups and other kind of soups. Even canned cream soup recipe is quite popular in North America where the soup is used as a sauce for making pasta, meat and casserole dishes.The exact origin of cream soup is unclear and hazy, but it is believed that since ancient times, the trend of making soups is popular. It was chef Hunou in the court of Mongol emperor ‘Kublai Khan’, who first collected the soup recipes and wrote a book based on them in around 1300.Last week I received the amazing Clarity soup maker from Morphy Richards.
