Many unique events happen in the month of January, which is also known as National Soup Month in America. Did you know that we consume an estimated 10 billion+ bowls of soup annually?
The origin of soup may have been when our early ancestors invented waterproof and heatproof containers, which allowed them to use hot water to heat foods in natural containers. It is estimated that the cooking technique of boiling was not commonly used until about six or seven thousand years ago.
These early attempts at primodial soup – things thrown into boiling water – produced a variety of key benefits such as:
1) Boiling permited the fuller use of animal and plant products
2) It expanded the range of foods that our ancestors consumed
3) Boiling extracted a huge nutritional benefit – previously unused parts of meat (bone) added value, and some inedible plant parts in their natural state became consumable.

Many unique events happened in the month of January. One event that had a significant impact on the State of California was the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill on January 24, 1848.
James Marshall was foreman of a work crew building a saw mill for John Sutter on the American River at Coloma near Sacramento. When Marshall showed his boss a few tiny gold nuggets, they both wanted to keep the discovery quiet.
But word slowly spread from coast to coast and across the globe during 1848, which created a huge gold rush in 1849.
Some say this was the start of one of the largest human migrations in history as people from around the world descended upon California in search of instant wealth.
