“There must be some kind of internal time distortion effect in here, because when I look at myself in the little mirror above my sink, what I see is my father's face, my face turning into his. I am beginning to feel how the man looked, especially how he looked on those nights he came home so tired he couldn't even make it through dinner without nodding off, sitting there with his bowl of soup cooling in front of him, a rich pork-and-winter-melon-saturated broth that, moment by moment, was losing - or giving up - its tiny quantum of heat into the vast average temperature of the universe.”

“Slowly, I turned around, to where the soup was now boiling, and ladled it into a bowl.
He watched every step I took to the table, the steaming bowl in my hands.
I stopped before him, staring down.
And I said, 'You love me?'
Rhys nodded.
And I wondered if love was too weak a word for what he felt, what he'd done for me. For what I felt for him.
I set the bowl down before him. 'Then eat.”

“Mrs. Porter was from Virginia and had a smooth-as-cat-fur way of speaking. She taught me how to say, “Fiddle-Dee-Dee,” just like Scarlett O’Hara and she made her split-pea soup with bacon and even let me try on her lipstick sometimes as she teased up my hair in the same sixties style she wore, “Ala Pricilla Presley,” whoever that was.”

“When we were kids, getting your mouth washed out with soap was punishment. But today, I’m selling duck-soup-flavored soap that your own kids will beg to have for dinner, which you’ll eat under a waterfall for maximum bubbles.”

“Stoned Soup by Stewart Stafford
Keith Richards talks Brendan Behan,
Making soup, wrapped in a blanket,
While in a kitchen in County Cork,
Mick Jagger listens and laughs loudly.
Discussing the previous night’s gig,
Mick says the crowd was wonderful,
Keith agrees and says so was Charlie,
Keith’s lip cigarette jigs to each word.
Through choking plumes of smoke,
The soup is ready, Mick tries some,
His notable lips curl downwards fast,
He humours Keith and says it’s great.

“I rub a hand over my face. By the fire, a spindly, insectile faerie stirs a big pot. "You want soup, mortal?"
I shake my head.
"You want to be soup?" It asks hopefully.”

“I thought you said these were Chinese-style noodles...
...so I was expecting something with pork spareribs on top.
The fish dumpling noodles in Hong Kong are good...
but I've never seen anything like this in China.
What's this on the top?"
"Barbecued pork made from Berkshire boar, and jakoten."
" 'Jakoten'? "
"It's a specialty from the Shikoku prefecture. They're fish cakes made from ground sardines and deep-fried in oil.
They're nutritious and taste good too."
"Sardines, is it?"
"Ah, this barbecued pork is completely different from Chinese-style barbecued pork!"
"And this soup?"
"I made the stock with pork bones and flying fish yakiboshi...
... and boosted the flavor with some miso and soy sauce.
I don't use any MSG in it."
"Hmm... the combination of pork bones and yakiboshi isn't something that a Chinese chef would have thought of."
"I've never tasted a soup like this before!"
"The noodles have no kansui in them. After kneading the dough with eggs...
... I let it rest for a whole week."
"Mmm... they're firm and flavorful!"
"I haven't seen noodles like this in China either!"
"The aged noodles taste so good!”
― Ramen and Gyoza

“Mother Marrow gestures to the soup, and I, who can afford no more enemies, bring it to my lips. It tastes of a memory I cannot quite place, warm afternoons and splashing in pools and kicking plastic toys across the brown grass of summer lawns. Tears spring to my eyes.
I want to spill it out in to the dirt.
I want to drink it down to the dregs.”
― The Wicked King

“Is
this
a potato? It's so smooth! It doesn't have that muddy, earthy smell to it! It's not fluffy or dry, and it just melts away in my mouth!"
"This is 'potato stewed in butter.' It's a dish I learned from Ajihyakusen, an izakaya in Sapporo.
For the soup, you use the ichiban-dashi of a katsuobushi. That way you won't waste the scent of the potato.
And for ten potatoes, you place half a pound of salted butter into the dashi...
...flavor it with a very slight amount of salt and sugar, and stew it over extremely low heat.
In about forty minutes, the potatoes will start to float in the dashi. If you keep boiling the potatoes, they'll sink again and then come floating back up in two and a half hours.
All you need to do after that is to boil it for about thirty more minutes, and it's done."
"Then you boil it for almost four hours total?"
"Right. It takes a whole day to cook this, so even though this dish only costs 600 yen, you have to order at least a day in advance to eat it at the izakaya.
The dishes Kurita and I made the other day were all made to your order. They were dishes that avoided the true nature of the potato. But this is a dish that draws out the full taste of the potato in a very straightforward way.
By cooking the potato for several hours over low heat, the flavor of the potato seeps out into the dashi, and when that happens, the unique muddy smell of the potato disappears. The potato can be easily broken apart in the soup, and it melts away on your tongue."
"That's the biggest difference from the other potato dishes."
"You can taste the true flavor of the potato with it.”

“So that's the Wanmono Soup made by Satoshi Isshiki...
... the so-called Master of Aggressive Japanese Cuisine."
"Look how beautifully it's plated! Even the ingredient colors are coordinated!"
"A true work of art!"
"Just looking at it sucks me in."
"But the taste... how does it taste?!
Is it as delicious as it is gorgeous?!"
"Just one sip of the broth was enough to send a shock wave surging through my body. Delicately constructing a wanmono soup out of just hare and konbu is difficult enough.
But to incorporate clam stock as well?! And so seamlessly too!"
"Clams?!"
"Wait, the soup broth is hare... and also clam?! How does that even work?!"
"There are four major components of a proper wanmono soup.
Suiji --- the broth that forms the backbone of the dish
Sukuchi --- the ingredients that accent the dish's aroma
Wandane --- the main ingredient of the soup
Wanzuma --- the side ingredients that complement the wandane
Blending the hare and clam stocks in a seven-to-three ratio infused the suiji broth with the mellow, salty body of the clams...
... putting a new, delicious spin on the traditional wanmono soup broth!
And the fresh, tangy aroma of yuzu fruit in the suikuchi accent neatly underscores that flavor, making it stand out all the more!
With this, he's done nothing short of innovatively reinventing a traditional Japanese soup stock!”

“While their may be some exceptions (the aforementioned patty melt, French onion soup, etc.), by in large the flavor and crunchiness of a raw onion in comparison to its cooked version is vastly superior.”

“Your digestive system's just upset after all that heavy food. It's nothing to worry about. I made you some soup that's great for indigestion. Fingers crossed you'll like it.'
Saying this, Reiko took out a thermos flask from her tote bag and poured a cupful of the cloudy white liquid into its lid. Rika made out the tingle of ginger on her taste buds, and her throat immediately grew hot. The soup of scallions, daikon and goji berries slipped down smoothly into her stomach. With almost no salt and only the sweetness of its ingredients, its taste was subtle, yet full and rounded nonetheless, and impossible to imagine tiring of. Her stomach made a noise like a small creature mewling, and the two women locked eyes and laughed.”

“Soup is cuisine's kindest course. It breathes reassurance; it steams consolation; after a weary day it promotes sociability, as the five o'clock cup of tea or the cocktail hour. Every nation, every forgotten corner of the world has its special soup recipe.”

“I managed to get her to sip two spoonfuls. I think that is more than enough, don’t you, Mother? Poor Primrose is already sick, she does not have to suffer through soup. Particularly this concoction of grey wateriness Miss Brook is so proud of. It looks like old laundry water and smells like socks. Besides, Primrose keeps dozing off. What was I supposed to do? Drown her in it?”
