liquid courage for the spoon, the original hug you can drink
means A savory liquid food made by simmering ingredients like vegetables, meat, or fish in water or stock, usually eaten hot with a spoon.
from From Old French 'soupe,' meaning broth poured over a slice of bread — and indeed the word originally pointed to the soaked bread itself, not the liquid. That French word traces back to a Late Latin 'suppa,' likely borrowed from a Germanic root meaning 'to soak' or 'sop,' which is why 'soup' and 'sop' (and 'supper') are all cousins sitting at the same dripping table.
