A good many people disagree as to the relative value of soup in the family dietary. The reason prob ably is that the food value of vari ous soups differs very greatly. There is very little food value in Bouillon and soups of that kind according to an eminent authority on food values, but vegetable soups especially when the vegetables are thoroughly cooked give the real essence of food nutriment in a very easily assimilated form.
