soup du jour of the day/soup of the day: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Thursday, September 19, 2013

soup du jour of the day/soup of the day 
Soupe du jour (note the E on the end of soupe) means “soup of the day.” If you’re going to use French to be pretentious on a menu, it’s important to learn the meaning of the words you’re using. Often what is offered is potage, anyway. Keep it simple, keep it in English, and you can’t go wrong.
