Three Little Birds / Sat On My Window

Jenny Lind.
What. A. Babe.
They called her "The Swedish Nightingale" for her clear soprano voice. Mendelssohn and Chopin both had little crushes. Hans Christian Anderson? Madly in love with her. She was the star of the world premiere of Verdi's "I masnadieri," she toured America with P.T. Barnum, she founded and funded music scholarships.
And she has a soup named after her:

Jenny Lind Soup
(recipe from soupsong)
1/4 cup diced rutabaga
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp flour
1 cup chicken stock
4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1/4 tsp sage, crumbled
1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
salt and white pepper
1 egg, separated, with egg white whipped to stiff peaks

Stew the rutabaga in water until completely soft, then mash completely. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and cook into a roux for several minutes. Whisk in the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Whip the egg whites and set aside.
When about ready to serve, whisk the cheese, rutabaga, and sage into the soup. Cook over medium heat for a couple minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the heated cream. Season to taste. Last, whisk in the egg yolk and pour into soup plates, topping with a spoonful of the beaten egg whites.



Wow. That sounds sort of disgusting.
