Sydney Smith has a very lively passage in his "Memoirs" to shew that too much soup and fish explain half the emotions of human life. ~H., "How to Mend the Temper," 1856 [The author must be referring to this passage, which is all I can find, but if anyone knows of something else please let me know: "I was seized with sudden giddiness, so as to fall, and for twenty-two hours was affected by violent pain. I kept my bed that day, and was weak and languid for some days after. Mr. Lyddon attributes it to indigestion. If this is the way nature punishes us for the consumption of indigestible food, I am sure it is worth while to be strictly temperate; I will therefore, in future, avoid soup and fish, and confine myself to one dish. I must not only attend to quantity, but quality. I may not be able to do this, — then I must die or be ill; but I am sure it is the best wisdom to do it."
Soup is liquid comfort. ~Author unknown

If soup isn't hot enough to make a grown man wince, it's undrinkable. ~Terri Guillemets
As the days grow short, some faces grow long. But not mine. Every autumn, when the wind turns cold and darkness comes early, I am suddenly happy. It's time to start making soup again. ~Leslie Newman, unverified
