Objective:
1 Classify soup according to ingredients used.
2. Select and assemble correct ingredients in preparing soups, including stocks and
garnishes.
3. Apply principles in prepare variety soup recipes.
I. INTRODUCTION
Soups are based on stocks added with other ingredients for variety of flavor,
consistency, appearance and aroma
II. CONTENT
Classifications of Soups
1. Clear Soups
They are soups based on a clear, unthickened broth or
stock. They may be served plain or garnished with a variety
of vegetables and meats. They are very similar to stocks,
except that broths are based on meats rather than bones so
they are richer and have a more defined flavor. Broths can
be used as a liquid in preparing soups. A good quality broth
should be clear, aromatic and rich-tasting with a very evident
flavor of the major ingredient. One strong and clear broth or stock is a consommé. It
is made by combining lean chopped meat, egg whites, mirepoix, herbs and spices
and an acidic ingredient like tomatoes, wine, or lemon juice. The combination is
called “clarification” since the particles that make the broth appear cloudy are
trapped as it cooks. A good quality consommé is crystal – clear, has a good body,
amber to brown in color, and completely fat-free.

Broth and bouillon are similar to stock in technique and in cooking time.
The major distinction between broth and stock is that broths can be served as
is, whereas stocks are used in production of other dishes.
• Vegetable soup – clear seasoned stock or broth with the addition of one or
more vegetable, meat, or poultry.
• Consommé’ – rich, flavorful stock or broth that has been clarified to make it
perfectly clear and transparent.
2. Thick Soups
Thick Soups are soups that are thickened to provide a heavier consistency.
Thick soup is a cream soup based on béchamel sauce and is finished with a heavy
cream. A béchamel sauce is milk thickened with roux. But some thick soups are
veloute sauce-based, stock thickened with roux. A veloute
sauce base is usually finished with a liaison of heavy
cream egg yolk. A thick soup should have a velvety
smooth texture and the thickness of heavy cream. It is
always essential to strain out the solids and at times to
puree and put back in the soup. Cream soups may be
served hot or cold.
A kind of cream soup based on crustaceans like
shrimps and lobsters is bisque. It is made by simmering a crustacean in a stock or a
fish fumet.
Another thick vegetable soup is the chowder made with broth, milk or water as
base, then thickened with roux. Cold, thick soups such as vichyssoise are simply
cream soups served cold. Others like gazpacho or a chilled cantaloupe soup are
based on a puree of cooked or raw ingredients brought to the correct consistency by
adding fruits or vegetable juice as a liquid
❖ Cream soups – are soups thickened with roux, beurremanie, liaison or other
thickening agents, plus milk, or cream.

c. Cold soup is variations on the traditional soup wherein the temperature
when served is kept at or below temperature.
d. Asian soup is a traditional soup which is typical broth, clear soup, or
starch thickened soup.
Ingredients Of Soup
2nd Principle. Cutting vegetable to appropriate size for the type of stock.
The size of cut helps the maximum flavor to be extracted.
Example 1: A fish stock only simmer for a half hour (30 minutes) so the cut should be
julienne (thin strips: ¼ inch thick 2-3 inches long)
Example 2: A brown stock simmers for 4-6 hours and sometimes 24 hours, so the
cut should be 1” cubed so that stock will have time to extract the flavor and will not
fall apart after a long cooking.
3rd Principle. Select your protein based. Beef, Chicken, Pork and Fish
All bones are washed, roasted or blanched. Roasted for brown sauce and
blanched for white stock.

Cooking Soups on Different Sources
Adjusting Consistency
Thick soups may continue to thicken during cooking and may need additional
stock or water added to adjust the consistency
Degreasing
Broth-based soups maybe prepared in advance, cooled and refrigerated. This
facilitates removing of congealed fat from the surface. Skim the top layer of fat
from a hot soup with a ladle, alternately.
