Native Americans
Corn, being a staple crop for many Native American tribes has led to corn soup being a primary food among them. M. R. Harrington reported that 1908 hulled-corn soup onno'kwǎ' was the most popular dish for the Seneca Indians. He also stated, "eldom do the Indians, pagan or Christian, meet for any function without a kettle of onno'kwǎ', hot and savory, to regale the crowd". The soup was served at religious events, the people getting a ladleful every time they encircled the kettle.

Within my bones did grow,
And while my God did all his glories show,

That was all spirit: I within did flow
With seas of life like wine;
I nothing in the world did know
But ‘twas divine.”
