Stocks, Sauces, & Soups Chapter Six Part Three - Soups
Soups are often served at the beginning of a meal and give the chef an opportunity to make a good first impression Preparing soups helps you learn more about basic culinary techniques, seasonings, garnishing, and serving foods Intro
There are two basic kinds of soup—clear soups and thick soups. Clear soups include flavored stocks, broths, and consommés. (chicken noodle soup, minestrone, French onion) Thick soups include cream soups and purée soups. Other soups don’t fit exactly into these categories: Chowders and Bisques, as they utilize specific ingredients and/or techniques There are many variations of these basic soups: ▫ Dessert soups (like a chilled strawberry soup) ▫ Fruit soups (like gazpacho, a chilled tomato soup) ▫ Cold soups (vichyssoise, a chilled potato soup from France) ▫ Traditional regional soups (New England clam chowder) Basic kinds of soups
Soups must be cooked properly Most are cooked to a gentle simmer and stirred occasionally Cooking too long causes loss of nutrients Finishing techniques are important when preparing soup for service. Soups should also be garnished just before service. Stock or broth is the basic ingredient in clear soups. Broth is made from a combination of water; vegetables; beef, fish, chicken, or veal; mirepoix; and bouquet garni. One type of clear soup is consommé. This is a rich, flavorful broth or stock that has been clarified. Preparing soups

Cream soups are thickened with an added starch, such as roux You can use a béchamel or velouté as the base Must be thick with a smooth texture Should never be boiled because the milk fat will break down and the soup will become watery drummond/broccoli-cheese-soup-recipe.htmlhttp:// drummond/broccoli-cheese-soup-recipe.html Thick soups – cream soups
A creamy soup (the creaminess varies) usually made from pureed shellfish shells, such as lobster, shrimp, or crab Shells are pureed along with the vegetables, making the texture slightly grainy Then the soup is strained and finished with cream, then garnished and served Pale pink or red Flavor of shellfish Bisque
Hearty, thick soups made similarly to cream soups Not pureed before the cream is added Usually thickened with roux and typically include large pieces of the main ingredients (usually potatoes and seafood) and garnishes chowder htmlhttp:// chowder html Chowder

There are two basic kinds of soup—clear and thick. Clear soups include flavored stocks, broths, and consommés. Thick soups include cream and purée soups. Stock or broth is the basic ingredient in clear soups. Consommé is a rich, flavorful broth or stock that has been clarified. Cream soups are made with a thickener, such as roux. The main flavor in cream soups should be the major ingredient. The main difference between a purée and cream soup is that cream soups are usually thickened with an added starch. Purée soups are thickened by the starch found in the puréed main ingredient (such as potatoes). There are many kinds of soup, including cold soups, fruit soups, and vegetable-based soups. 6.3 Summary
