Soup is a liquid to semi liquid food. It can be prepared by combining one or more than one following ingredients, such as meat, vegetables and/ or legumes. These ingredients can be cooked in vegetable or non vegetable stock or just plain water, until the flavor is extracted.
Traditionally, soups are classified into two broad groups: clear soups and thick soups. Soup has to be served hot to get its real flavor and taste. In cold frosty winter there isn't anything like hot soup!
