Hodge-Podge (soup)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hodge-Podge is a soup made of a mixture of various ingredients. According to the 1903 The Steward's Handbook and Guide to Party Catering[1], it is "common English for Hotch-Potch, a mixture; mutton soup thick with pieces of meat and all sorts of vegetables, also Hot-Pot."

Often this soup is a token of poverty, when a food is prepared from whatever ingredients are available.[2]
