==History==
Potage has its origins in the medieval cuisine of ] and increased in popularity from the ] onward. A course in a medieval feast often began with one or two potages, which would be followed by roasted meats.

European ]s often contained a variety of crops grown together. These were called ''potage gardens'' by the French, as the harvest from that garden was used to make potage.<ref>From puritanical to pleasurable: Potage not as challenging or exotic as it sounds.

During the ], a good many English ]s' diets consisted almost solely of potage. Some Tudor-era people ate self-cultivated vegetables like ]s and ]s and a few were able to supplement this from fruit gardens with ]s nearby.

Some potages that were typical of ] were ], ] (flesh or fish in aspic), mawmenny (a thickened stew of ] or similar ]), and ]s in syrup. There were also many kinds of potages made of thickened liquids (such as ] and ]) with mashed ]s or mashed or strained ].

According to ] religious customs, if a ''festa doble'' (a "double feast" in the church) fell on a ] two consecutive ''potatge'' courses were served, one of which would be a cheese-topped rice or noodle dish, the other a meat stew ({{lang-ca|guisat}}) cooked in "'']''" made from wine, vinegar, parsley, spleen, liver, saffron, egg yolks and assorted spices. Two ''potaje'' courses were also served for fish days, first high-quality spinach from the ] gardens topped with peppers, or cabbage or lettuce (if spinach could not be found), followed by either a bowl of ] or noodles or rice cooked in ], or a grain bowl of semolina ] seasoned with cinnamon.<ref>{{cite book |title=Pedralbes |publisher=Universidad de Barcelona |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BDF9IlUOaP8C&pg=PA96}}</ref>
