Soup?

Dutch Schultz -- One of his last utterances was a seemingly random reference to "French Canadian bean soup". What he was probably saying was "French Canadian PEA soup," which used to be a popular disparaging remark against French Canadians in Quebec.

The Soup Nazi character makes a brief cameo in the Seinfeld series finale, in which his name is revealed to be Yev Kasem.

yep :)
For extra interest, here the last words of Dutch Schultz after rambling on for hours:

"Come on, open the soap duckets. The chimney sweeps. Talk to the sword. Shut up, you got a big mouth! Please help me up, Henry. Max, come over here. French-Canadian bean soup. I want to pay. Let them leave me alone."
