ELI5: what is primordial soup?
gpt
It's an idea that, once, many many years ago - before there was life - there were pools and lakes and maybe oceans of water that were full of minerals and salts and rich in complex chemicals. The idea is that, through various means, these chemicals, in a soup, interacted with each other to create proto-life. We THINK something like thins MIGHT have been involved in the beginning of life as we know it (abiogenesis) but it's just one idea among many.

(or did you want an actual breakdown of ingredients?)
