General principles of cooking soups

how to cook soups How much to cook soup
The cooking time of the soup directly depends on the products used. Borsch, cabbage soup and other beef soups require at least 2 hours of cooking. Boil soups based on chicken or pork broth for 1-1.5 hours, but light vegetable, mushroom or cheese soup takes up to 1 hour.

How to make soup
1. Boil the broth. Soup broths are boiled either on bone, meat, fish or mushrooms. Put broth products in a saucepan, fill them with cold water and put on fire. After boiling, carefully remove the foam from time to time with a slotted spoon. Cook bone broth for soup for 3-4 hours, meat broth - 1-2 hours, fish broth - 20-30 minutes, mushroom broth - 1 hour. After boiling, the meat can be divided or cut into pieces. Salt the soup as soon as the broth base is added to the soup.

2. Add a side dish to the soup - potatoes, rice, pearl barley, vermicelli, beets.

3. Prepare frying: usually fried onions and carrots. Peel the onions and carrots, finely chop the onion, rub the carrots on a coarse grater. First, pour oil into a preheated frying pan, put onion, fry it over medium heat for 7 minutes, then add carrots and fry everything together for another 7 minutes.
4. Boil the soup together with frying for 5-15 minutes.

How to serve soup
When pouring the soup, it is important to scoop up the grounds from the bottom of the pot. If puree soup is served, it is recommended to mix the soup beforehand. Soups such as, for example, pickle or hodgepodge - already contain salt, and are added to the salt already on the plate. Either way, put a salt shaker on the table. Fresh bread or croutons are suitable for any soup, and you can decorate with a slice of lemon and herbs.

What to ask guests / guests about soup
The first question is to clarify whether to pour the thick soup, depending on the taste and degree of hunger. The second question - if the soup provides for both hot and cold serving - in what form should the soup be served. If the soup is very hot, it is enough to pour the soup into a plate previously cooled with cold water, and then pour into 1 more chilled plate. Then there is no need to wait for cooling and you will start the meal at the same time with the guest.
If the soup contains large pieces of meat or pieces of chicken with bones, serve a separate plate with a fork and knife.

How to cook soup with a boiler
The soup can actually be cooked with a kettle. You can even in a glass jar - with slow boiling and the absence of temperature drops, it will not burst. Of course, safety precautions must be followed - it is important that the boiler is completely in the soup. But the general essence is the same - the water is boiling, the soup is boiling. The only caveat: in soups that involve a slow fire, you need to bring the water to a boil, then wait a minute or two, bring the water to a boil again - and so on until the end of cooking.
