Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name given to beet soup?

Answer: borscht

This Russian beet soup gave its name to the Jewish 'borscht belt' of Jewish-American entertainers.
2. What is the rumored origin of the word 'chowder'?

Answer: French for cauldron

It's from the old French 'chaudier' for cauldron.
3. What is the name for a lobster soup?

Answer: bisque or stew

Not to be confused with the type of pottery, this is a thick cream soup.
4. What is the real ingredient in mock turtle soup?

Answer: beef or veal

Remember the Mock Turtle in Carroll's Alice? Tenniel portrayed him with a cow's head and hooves. Veal comes from young calves, not from grown cattle, as does beef. Mock turtle soup uses meat from calves' heads and hooves.
5. Name the fish stew created in Marseilles, France.

Answer: bouillabaisse

From the French for 'boiled'.
6. Name the main ingredient in a soup that's served cold.

Answer: potato

Though named for the French province, vichyssoise potato soup was created in America! (in the old Ritz-Carlton in New York, in fact!)
7. True or false: all clam chowder is white.

Answer: False

New England clam chowder is white, Manhattan clam chowder is red!
8. What is the shape of crackers mostly served with clam chowder?

Answer: hexagonal or round

Sometimes, oyster crackers are round, hollow balls.
9. Which soup company used apple-cheeked children in its ads?

Answer: Campbell

The Campbell Kids were originally created by Grace Drayton around the turn of the 20th Century.
10. What soup is used in a simile for thick fog?

Answer: pea

A fog "as thick as pea soup" is one of the hoariest cliches around, though other equally thick soups, such as New England clam chowder, would perhaps be more appropriate!
