The act of combining several ingredients in a large pot to create a nutritious, stuffed, easy to digest food, easy to make, serving food was inevitable. This made it the perfect choice for both sedentary and itinerant cultures, the rich and the poor, healthy people and the disabled.

Soup can be a simple addition to any meal and a great way to make sure you and your family get the essential portions of whole grains, vegetables and protein in a bowl.
