There is nothing more comforting that a bowl of warm soup on a cold winter day, or a steaming cup of Mom’s chicken noodle soup when you are feeling sick. The great thing about soup is that you can use any variety of ingredients and they are often quite simple to make. Primarily a combination of meat, vegetables, or legumes, in stock or hot water, soup has been a favorite dish for centuries and comes from the word “sop”, meaning a piece of bread served with some type of liquid. There are two main classifications of soups: clear soups and thick soups. Whether you are making a clear bouillon based soup or a thick creamy soup, there’s no doubt that soup is an easy and great dish to accompany any meal.
