Introduction

Food is an inevitable need of man. However, there are numerous ways people enjoy their food. Desserts, appetizers, and main meals without or with soups are a few of the significant methods. Soups are essential and add a lot of spice to food for consumers to enjoy it better. Well, there are two major categories people want their soups. Clear Soup As the name implies, clear soups are delicate soups, and there is no addition of thickening agents while cooking them. Consommé, Bouillon, or Broth are examples of clear soups. Well, many people use both Bouillon and Broth interchangeably. a) Consommé is a French version of meat or fish soup of a clear soup. To prepare consommé, you need to add carrots, onion, celery, egg whites, and tomatoes with ground meats. The quality of a consommé is dependent on its simmering and stirring. The resulting soup is always a clear soup with yellow or rich amber color. b) Bouillon or Broth is the commonest clear soup. People have different ways to prepare their broths to have various flavors like beef, chicken, turkey, meat, fish, mushroom, and other vegetables. Having mixed all together, allow your broth to simmer while the gelatin thickens. You can gradually stir to have your rich flavorful stock.

Clear soups ensure your digesting tract is clear as they offer several other nutritional benefits. Hence, hospitals recommend clear soup for their patients or to feel good during cold weather. Thick Soup Thich soups are different from clear soups because people use cream, cornstarch, vegetables, flour, and other ingredients to thicken them. You can use any of these ingredients or more to thicken your soup to any degree of flavor and texture you desire. There are types of thick soups such as. a) Bisque is a thick soup due to cream and shellfish. The goal of bisque is to extract the flavor of the imperfect shellfishes like lobsters, crabs, and shrimps, which are not marketable. Sometimes, people grind the shell to form a fine paste one can add to thicken the soup. b) Cream soup is another type of thickened soup. You can make cream soup by combining milk or cream with any broth you desire. There are different flavors like tomato soup cream, chicken soup cream, and mushroom soup cream. Adding cream improves the thickness, flavor and makes the soup filling. c) Potage is more common in Northern France. To cook your potage, you need the different vegetables of a garden boiled with water and mixed with meat to form something thick. All these types of soup are the major categories we have. However, there are millions of soup recipes that man cannot exhaust. Recipes are the various tested ways people have prepared and enjoyed their meals without any regrets. This book has helped with compiling 90+ soup recipes that you can enjoy. There are 365 days in a year.
