DESCRIPTION:

The origins of Pepper Pot Day and the pepper pot itself go to the Revolutionary War. As the American army was camped at Valley Forge for ten days, on this especially harsh winter night, George Washington asked the army's chef to cook a meal that would boost the soldiers' morale and warm them up.

The soup the chef came up with on December 29, 1777, was the pepper pot soup, also known as Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup. The soldiers were so well received that it was called "the soup that won the war."
