SOUPS
Soups are among the most common form of food in all parts of the world. Generally, the very mention of a soup brings forth the thought that it is a hot liquid dish, consisting of vegetables or fish or meat, or just the broth itself like the well-known Italian Minestrone. But soups also have cold versions like the French Vichyssoise, the Russian Borscht, and the Spanish Gazpacho, among others. The taste of a soup mainly depends on the flavour of the stock, which forms the base of any soup.
