 <title>Soup</title>
 
+  <p>
+    Soup, or libsoup as it is commonly called, is an HTTP library designed to
+    be used in graphical applications which need asynchronous operations to
+    avoid blocking the user interface while network requests are going on.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    Soup provides functionlity for using HTTP cookies, SSL encrypted
+    connections, and the XML-RPC protocol based on HTTP.
+  </p>
+
+  <note>
+    <p>
+      Trivia: Soup is called "soup" because it started as a library for doing SOAP
+      requests over HTTP.  Spanish speakers who are learning English frequently
+      confuse the words "soup" and "soap", and this seemed like a funny and
+      interesting name to use.
