Worlds Best Soup
Soup is a universal comfort food—here are 12 of the best places on Earth to have a bowl. 20,000 BC was a monumental year in history. Why? The first pot of soup was crafted in a cave in modern-day China. To create their savory broth, prehistoric humans boiled animal bones and entrails in crude pits, then slurped their handiwork from some of the world’s earliest ceramic bowls. Fast forward a few thousand years, and a verdict has been reached: Our ancient ancestors were onto something ... something delicious. Since this first boiling pot, humans have come up with all kinds of ways to make delicious, simmering broths, loading them full of tender meat, starches, vegetables, and herbs. From light and clear dishes with delicate flavors to chunky creations of the stew variety, there’s no wrong way to make or enjoy a bowl of soup. Just put a pot on the stove and let the spirit move you. In honor
