There\’s a lot to love about a cup of delcious soup. Some people love the many flavors and textures, others the warmth and comfort. Lots of soups are so hearty they actually make a complete meal. Of course, in the summer heat, there is always the option of choosing from the cold soup favorites. Here are just a few of the basic types of soups you can create yourself.
It\’s interesting that most soups can be broken down into a few categories, basically that there are soups that begin with or without a stock base. Then there are also the fruit soups. Some examples of soups requiring stock include your broths, bouillon, and consomm. Soups without stock would be bisque, chowders, creams, and purees.
When creating your own meat-based soup stock, any of your favorite meats would be a good starter. Anything including beef, turkey, lamb, chicken, veal, fish, etc. would work fine. Using dark-colored meats will produce brown stock while white soup stock is made from light-colored meats. Vegetables commonly added to soup stock include onion, celery, and carrots. Soups in this category include beef vegetable, chicken soups, tomato soups, cabbage soups, and broth\’s.
If you\’re making a rich thick puree or cream type soup you\’ll find they can be a perfect main course for a light dinner or afternoon luncheon. Create such classics as creamed corn or creamed broccoli, split pea, oyster or lobster bisque, bean or potato puree, clam chowder, and much more.
If you\’d like great fruit soup, consider such refreshing favorites as chilled cantaloupe, cherry soup, honeydew melon, peach, or strawberry cream. These delicious soups are wonderful anytime, but especially on a hot sultry day. Some fruit soups use fruit juice as a base, while others call for a vegetable stock base. Either makes a wonderful vegetarian treat.
Nothing really compares to a delicious, well-made soup. Be sure to put the right finishing touch on your creamy soups with a simple garnish and serve it the appropriate dish, such as a nice covered soup dish for your bean or onion soup, or a nice flat round bowl for your cream soup. And be prepared for requests for second helpings.
Make sure you have the right soup cooking pot by treating yourself a affordable stainless steel cookware set. There are a variety of wonderful cookware sets to choose from, so pick the best one for your needs.
