Eternal soup

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eternal Soup is a dish that was common in medieval inns. A kettle was always filled with the available ingredients, but never completely emptied. Only during Lent before Easter was the meat-free dish made from scratch. Possible ingredients were bread, beer, rabbits, chickens, pigeons, (cured) pork, cabbage, beets and so on.

The Louro restaurant in the West Village in New York City served a broth based on the same principle in 2014 and 2015.
