Those in higher social standings loved soup for its hearty and luxurious flavors. The lower class was keen on stew that could be boiled again for leftovers and keep them warm in the winter.
Similar to today, soups were also used as a type of “medicine” that for the sick to sip on to stay warm and grow healthy.
