  1. Soup has many advantages. The leftover water from boiling food contains a lot of nutrients. Using it as a broth allowed people to get the maximum nutrition from their food, which is especially important when food is scarce. It is likely that people invented soup about the same time as they began boiling food. It also provided a source of food for elderly people who had lost their teeth. This was a great advancement, which helped people live longer. And with people living longer, they had more time to pass their knowledge on to later generations, and to help with childcare.

The history behind soup are many, one is that a Egyptian slave , when he was hungry stole a chicken , and when he was about to get caught he put the chicken in a pot of hot water to hide. And that is how the soup arrived.

One of the first types of soups can be dated to about 6,000 BC. Boiling was not a common cooking technique until the invention of waterproof containers (which probably came in the form of pouches made of clay or animal skin) about 9,000 years ago. Soup can be made out of broth or a form of liquid

The word soup comes from French soupe ("soup", "broth"), 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.

This is actually a little known fact: the Italians invented soup. You see, before Scrabble as we know it today was ever invented, the Italians played the word game using limp noodles to form the letters. These two guys were playing and one played all seven letters. His opponent got so mad, in a fit of anger, he knocked the board over and all the letters fell into a pot nearby where they were boiling chicken. The victorious player tried spooning the noodles out, grew tired in his efforts and, since he was hungry anyway, began eating them. Hence, the first bowl of chicken noodle soup was discovered.

You mean soup as the food that is made by combining meat and vegetables with stock, water, juice or another liquid? The answer is no; it was first invented some 8,000 years ago when the first humans began to use pouches of clay or animal skin as water containers.If you mean tortilla soup, the answer is also no. It was invented by Aztec and Mayan civilizations some 5,000 years ago, when they domesticated corn or maize. At that time neither California nor Mexico existed yet.
