What country does vegetable soup come from?

There is no single country from which vegetable soup originates. Many cultures around the world have long traditions of making vegetable soups, each with its own unique variations and recipes. For example, vegetable soups are made in Chinese (won ton soup), French (pot-au-feu), Greek (avgolemono), Italian (minestrone), Mexican (menudo), Russian (borscht), Spanish (sopa de verduras), and many other cuisines. The concept of making a soup using a variety of vegetables and seasonings as the primary ingredients appears to have developed independently in different parts of the world, so identifying a precise country of origin is not straightforward.
