Magiritsa soup is made in Greece and Cyprus using lamb offal. Maryland crab soup is made of vegetables, blue crab meat, and Old Bay Seasoning in a tomato base, from Maryland.
Substantial documentary evidence exists to prove that modern vichyssoise is made almost identically to the popular "Potage Parmentier" from the 18th-19th centuries and that Diat's true invention can be no more than the temperature at which the soup is served, and the name "Vichyssiose," assuming he did indeed create those two elements.
