Is it necessary to eat soup every day? The answer is exclusively positive, because fresh soups are beneficial for the health and vitality of the body. There are several reasons for this:

first courses have a stimulating effect on the digestive processes and are quickly absorbed;
liquid food provides support for water-salt balance;
Hot soups help keep you warm during the cold season by supplying the body with thermal energy.

First courses come first in terms of nutritional value and ability to be easily absorbed by the body, so they are recommended for use in children's diets, as well as in the postoperative period and during dietary nutrition.

There is another recipe for delicious soup in the next video.

Today we will conduct an educational program for novice housewives and tell you what types of soups there are, and briefly describe what each subtype is. Relying on the information presented, you will be able to decide for yourself what dishes you want to cook, and what recipes you will refuse and become better oriented in the sections of cookbooks or on thematic sites.

Types of soups and their preparation

All soups can be divided into two categories: hot and cold.

Among the wide global assortment, only okroshka, beetroot soup or kholodnik are popular in our country, and then often in the summer. But in other cuisines of the world you can find various cold soups made with vegetable or fruit broth, as well as dishes based on milk or dairy products. Most often, such dishes are complemented with ice.

Hot soups can be found much more often on our menu. They can be divided into three main subgroups: clear and dressing, as well as puree soups. The basis of a clear soup, as a rule, is any rich broth with a minimum amount of additional components. Most often, the broth is simply supplemented with baked goods when serving, and very rarely cereals or any vegetables are added to the food when cooking.

The most extensive category, which includes countless different subtypes and variations of first courses, is seasoning soups. Borscht and cabbage soup, rassolniki and solyanka, vegetable dishes and with the addition of pasta, cereals and legumes - and this is an incomplete list of all subtypes of dressing dishes.

What types of hot seasoning soups are there?

Seasoning soups can be divided into classic, thickened, roasting and combined. To prepare a traditional (classic) seasoning soup, the broth is first prepared, which, when ready, is seasoned with other specified ingredients. The frying version of the soup involves preliminary frying the ingredients until half cooked or ready, then pouring them with water or broth and simmering for a short time. Thickened soups are prepared much less frequently in our country and are dishes “for everyone.” A striking example of such a dish is the classic borscht or cabbage soup, to which semolina or flour is added for thickness.

Combined soup is a dish prepared from components that are cooked individually and then seasoned in a saucepan before serving. These are most often prepared in Far Eastern cuisine.

What types of cream soups are there?

Cream soup In essence, it can be made from any hot soup, making it thicker and chopping it in a blender when ready. But cream soup is a more refined dish and is most often prepared not with broth, but with the addition of cream and based on a lighter version of bechamel sauce.

The most popular types of cream soups: chicken, mushroom, vegetable and fish. Each subspecies has hundreds of variations and combinations of its components.

Simple types of sweet soups

In addition to other types of first courses, it is worth highlighting sweet soups. The simplest of them are: dairy, fruit and bread. In our kitchen, dairy products are most often prepared with the addition of cereals and pasta. Bread-based sweet soups are typical of the Northern European menu and consist of crackers soaked in water, supplemented with honey, fruits stewed in syrup and sweet cream. Fruit soups are prepared based on juice from fruits and berries or syrup with the addition of pieces of fruit, berries and crackers.

Word " soup" many centuries ago the French came up with: that’s what they began to call their liquid first meal. The French took the Latin word as a basis suppa, which meant “bread soaked in broth.” This fact suggests that the ancestors of soups were known back in the Ancient World, and the history of the dish goes back hundreds of years.

Soups owe their birth to... dishes. As soon as a person was able to come up with strong and chemically neutral dishes that were not afraid of high temperatures, he immediately began experiments on creating new dishes, among which were soups. This happened in the East - in Ancient China and nearby regions approximately 100 years BC. But in our current understanding, the soup developed about 400-500 years ago. In Europe, people started talking about soups in the Middle Ages, and again thanks to the spread of porcelain, earthenware and cutlery here at that time. First, soups conquered Southern Europe in the 15th-17th centuries, and then began to spread further and further to the north, east and west, and by the 17th century they were already known everywhere.

In Russia, in pre-Petrine times, all liquid dishes were called stews. At first, the word “soup” was used to describe only dishes that came from Western Europe, and then it replaced the traditional name for first courses.

There are unimaginably many in the world today soup recipes, however, we can immediately determine almost unmistakably whether this is soup in front of us or not. The thing is that soup differs from all other dishes in three main features: firstly, the soup contains at least 50% liquid, secondly, the technology for preparing soup almost always involves cooking, and thirdly, all the components of the soup create the overall taste ( as opposed to simply boiling foods or a mixture of them) and are its important parts.

In modern world cuisine, there are approximately 150 types of soups, which are divided into more than a thousand types, which in turn can also have cooking options. Soups can be hot and cold (according to serving temperature), water, kvass, beer, milk, fermented milk products, brine, wine, fruit or vegetable juice (according to the cooking liquid used), meat (including poultry), fish , vegetable, mushroom, flour products, cereals, dairy, fruit and even seaweed soups (depending on the main ingredient). In a word, delicious soup recipes World cuisine has invented an incredible amount and a lifetime would not be enough to try them all. No need!

Soups are an important component of every person's diet. They help you feel full and restore strength. They began to cook about 400 years ago, from the time dishes appeared. However, you should not think that the cooking process was the same as it is now. The cooking method began to be used much later.

First courses began to become widespread only at the end of the 17th century. In Russian cuisine, liquid dishes were usually called stews. The name “soup” began to be used only under Peter I.

Today there are about 150 options, each of which is divided into another thousand types, and also in several variations.

They can be hot - borscht, rassolniki, solyanka, cabbage soup, with various types of meat, fish, vegetables or cereals. Cold liquid dishes are good in the summer heat and are prepared mainly with light broth, water, kvass, and fermented milk products (okroshka, kholodnik, tarator).

However, what they all have in common is that 50% is liquid, the other half is various fillings. The ingredients are a wide variety of products: vegetables, cereals, pasta, fruits, herbs, spices, meat products. It is impossible to say which one is better. Everyone chooses according to their taste, preference and even lifestyle.
