History of the dish
Soup is the first dish that appeared under this name in the era of Peter I. Before that, everyone knew about stews, yushki, fish soup with the addition of all sorts of cereals or homemade noodles. The soup was distinguished by the fact that it was served as a rule in pots and in its composition, at least 50% of the liquid was an indispensable condition. The soup was always eaten with wooden spoons. The name came to us from many Western European languages: in Holland - soep, in Germany - suppe, in France - soupe and so on. But there is also an opinion that all these names come from the late Latin word suppa, which literally means βbread dipped in gravyβ.
In our case, the soup with corn grits will be without meat, but it may well be prepared in the same way with chicken or veal. It's all a matter of taste and imagination of the hostess. And we, perhaps, will begin.
