A comfort food through the ages, soup has been around for a long, long time. The Romans ate it, Andy Warhol made it into a 20th century icon, and it even gained a political flavour as the women of South Yorkshire ladelled it out during the the Miners' strike. But recently soup has undergone a change of image.
Simon Rimmer, the chef behind Soup Dragon, a new chain of soup bars in the north, Lady Celestria Knowles, an expert on etiquette and the food writer, Lindsay Bareham, author of A Celebration of Soup discuss the changing image of soup from workhouse fare to posh nosh.
