Wikipedia

Soup is a food that is made by combining ingredients, such as meat and vegetables with stock, juice, water or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids until the flavor is extracted, forming a broth. Traditionally, soups are classified into two broad groups: ''clear soups'' and ''thick soups''. The established French classifications of clear soups are ''bouillon'' and ''consommé''. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: ''purées'' are vegetable soups thickened with starch; ''bisques'' are made from puréed shellfish or vegetables thickened with ''cream''; cream soups may be thickened with béchamel sauce; and ''veloutés'' are thickened with eggs, butter and cream. Other ingredients commonly used to thicken soups and broths include rice, flour and grains.

[edit] About Soup

A liquid food with solid components, such as meats, vegetables or noodles; solids may be pureed to create a thick liquid. Soups range from thin and watery to very thick. Popular soup bases are broths, made from vegetable, meat, poultry or fish, and cream. While soup is most frequently served warm, chilled soups are popular in summer months and in warmer climates. Soup is frequently a savory starter to a meal, though more substantial soups can serve as main courses; sweet soups made from fruit are sometimes served as dessert.
