This soup recipe was submitted by perhaps the most famous First Lady of all, Jacqueline Kennedy. It was said to be a favourite of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated five years before the cookbook was published. JFK was born in Massachusetts, which is part of the New England region on the eastern coast of the United States, where this is a signature dish, reflecting the importance of the local fishing industry.
