Soups
Doctor Ernst Moro
Born: 8. Dezember 1874 in Laibach, Austria-Hungary
Died: 17. April 1951 in Heidelberg, Württemberg-Baden
Moro attained his medical degree in Graz, Austria and later became a leading paediatrician at a hospital in Heidelberg (Heidelberger Kinderklinik). In 1908, he created a soup based on common household cooking ingredients. This simple recipe had proven effective in alleviating the distressful gastrointestinal ailments among hospital patients. There was a significant decrease in the complications and mortality rate among children who were afflicted with severe diarrheal symptoms. The recipe was also printed in a Viennese newspaperDer Tag in 1925.
Recent scientific studies by German and Austrian doctors have further discovered its therapeutic values. It stated that the Carrot Soup à la Moro could benefit patients suffering from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) illness.
