POLOKWANE – Nothing tastes better than a perfectly blended, seasoned bowl of soup.
The word ‘soup’ comes from French ‘soupe’, which comes through Vulgar Latin suppa (“bread soaked in broth”) from a Germanic source, from which also comes the word “sop”, a piece of bread used to soak up soup or a thick stew.
