Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has famously said that he tends to stay away from the soup du jour for fear it's either made with expiring ingredients, or it's been recycling itself for a longer time than a day.
There's another thing about soup du jour that you should know, especially if you're inherently a soup lover. Chefs who pride themselves on creativity and using fresh, local, or seasonal ingredients are doing just that with their soup.
Because soup has always been a menu item that's comforting, versatile, and affordable, dine-in restaurants began to offer soup regularly.
Rather than having types of soup that were fixtures on the menu, serving a soup of the day made chefs' jobs easier.
