Soups are nothing but liquid food made from mixing stocks with vegetables or meat.They are generally served hot.It is the second course of the french classical menu. Soups are generally classified into two types : clear soups and thick soups.
I'm honestly not a big fan of soups.I have rarely tried any soup in my life. I think the reason for that is that I like my food to be solid and also drinking soup reminds me of being sick. I generally have it when I'm either sick or when I go to restaurants with my family. My mom is a big fan of soups. Her favorite is chicken soup.So, I will be choosing Chicken soup as my topic. Chicken soup is one of the most common soup.Following is the recipe for chicken soup:
500 gm Chicken with bones
100 gm White Onion

The soup, I prepared doesn't have much water in it since I don't like watery food.Since I'm from India,I like my food to be very hot.So I made the soup is very hot by adding more pepper in it.The water in the soup compliments the chicken very well. I offered the soup to my roommates and they all liked it except my Brazilian roommate since he found it very hot.I seriously didn't find it very challenging because I'm used to preparing food on a regular basis. I think it was a partial success since most of them including me liked it. But as I said before if my Brazilian roommate would have liked it, it would have been a complete success. So, I think from next time on wards I will think about everyone else likes and dislikes before preparing any food.I will try to find a balance between everyone's liking.
So, I think it was a good experience for me and I think this experience will surely help me in my future endeavors.
