Understanding Soups
Soup is a liquid food derived from fish, poultry, meat, or vegetables. Its popularity today is maybe due
to increased nutrition consciousness, to a desire for simpler or lighter meals, or an increased
appreciation of how appetizing and satisfying soups can be according to Gisslen. For formal dining
service, soup is normally offered after an appetizer.
Classification of soups. .
Soups can be classified into three as follows
o Clear or unthickened
o Thick
o Special
Clear or Unthickened Soups – Soups of this classification are all based on a clear, unthickened broth
or stock. This type can be served plain or garnished with a variety of vegetables and meats. Examples
of this are as follows:
Thick Soups – Soups that are opaque rather than transparent are of
this classification. To provide a heavier consistency, soups of this
type are thickened either by adding a thickening agent such as a
roux, or by pureeing one or more of their ingredients. Examples of
this are as follows:
Specialty Soups - These are soups that do not fit well into the main
categories and those that are native to particular countries or regions.
Soups of this type can be distinguished by their unusual ingredients
or methods as the following:
o Turtle soup
o Gumbo
o Peanut soup
