• Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give a hearty sustenance and cheer? Who warms you
  in the winter and cools you in the summer? Yet who also is capable of doing honor
  to your richest table and impressing your most demanding guests? Soup does its
  loyal best, no matter what undignified conditions are imposed upon it. You don't
  catch steak hanging around when you're poor and sick, do you?

  Judith Martin
