Soupy History

Soup has a very wordy history of where the word comes from.

The word soup is rooted in a word from the Germanic language that's since grown into modern words like "supper," "sup," and "sop". It originally meant "consume something liquid." Before the 6th century, the word “suppa” in Latin meant to take a piece of bread eaten in a broth, a “suppa”. The French, word for suppa eventually took on the word both, meaning the broth-soaked bread and the broth itself. After a linguistic jump across the English Channel in the 17th century (and a concurrent vogue for breadless broths), the word came to us, and we started making "soups" instead of "pottages" or "broths." "Sop," just the piece of bread, had been hanging out in English since at least the 11th century, but it took some fancy French pronunciation to make us recognize the broth as a soup unto itself.
