Shirley Temple’s “Animal Crackers in My Soup”
Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop, Gosh oh gee, but I have fun. Swallowing animals one by one In every bowl of soup I see. Lions and Tigers watching me, I make ’em jump right through a hoop, Those animal crackers in my soup. When I get hold of the big bad wolf, I just push him under to drown, Then I bite him in a million bits, And I gobble him right down. When they’re inside me where it’s dark, I walk around like Noah’s ark; I stuff my tummy like a goop, With animal crackers in my soup.
Shirley Temple

James Duke M.D
Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give a hearty sustenance and cheer? And, who warms you in the winter and cools you in the summer?
Yet who also is capable of doing honor to your richest table and impressing your most demanding guests? Soup does its loyal best, no matter what undignified conditions are imposed upon it. You don’t catch steak hanging around when you’re poor and sick, do you?
Judith Martin
A warm bowl of soup is my reminder to slow down, savor the moment, and nourish both body and spirit.

On Bouillabaisse
Bouillabaisse, this golden soup, this incomparable golden soup which embodies and concentrates all the aromas of our shores and which permeates, like an ecstasy, the stomachs of astonished gastronomes. Bouillabaisse is one of those classic dishes whose glory has encircled the world, and the miracle consists of this: there are as many bouillabaisses as there are good chefs or cordon bleus. Each brings to his own version his special touch.
