Abstraction Soup
Soups are based on stocks added
with other ingredients for variety
of flavor, consistency,
appearance, and aroma
A well-prepared soup always
makes a memorable impression.
Soups offer a full array of
flavouring ingredients and
garnishing opportunities.
Soups also allow the use of
trimmings and leftover creatively.
Classifications of Soups
1. Clear Soups
They are soups based on a clear,
unthicken broth or stock. They
may be served plain or garnished
with a variety of vegetables and
meats. They are very similar to
stocks, except that broths are
based on meats rather than
bones so they are richer and
have a more defined flavor.
Broths can be used as a liquid in
preparing soups. A good quality
broth should be clear, aromatic,
and rich-tasting with a very
evident flavor of the major
ingredient. One strong and clear
broth or stock is a consommé. It
is made by combining lean
chopped meat, egg whites,
mirepoix, herbs and spices and
an acidic ingredient like
tomatoes, wine, or lemon juice.
The combination is called
“clarification” since the particles
that make the broth appear
cloudy are trapped as it cooks. A
good quality consommé is crystal
– clear, has a good body, amber
to brown in color, and
completely fat-free.
2. Thick Soups
Thick Soups are soups that are
thickened to provide a heavier
consistency. Thick soup is a
cream soup based on béchamel
sauce and is finished with a
heavy cream. A béchamel sauce
is milk thickened with roux.
But some thick soups are velouté
sauce-based, stock thickened
with roux. A velouté sauce base is
usually finished with a liaison of
heavy cream egg yolk. A thick
soup should have a velvety
smooth texture and the thickness
of heavy cream. It is always
essential to strain out the solids
and at times to puree and put
back in the soup. Cream soups
may be served hot or cold. A kind
of cream soup based on
crustaceans like shrimps and
lobsters is bisque. It is made by
simmering a crustacean in a stock
or a fish fumet. Another thick
vegetable soup is the chowder
made with broth, milk or water
as base, then thickened with
roux. Cold, thick soups such as
vichyssoise are simply cream
soups served cold. Others like
gazpacho or a chilled cantaloupe
soup are based on a puree of
cooked or raw ingredients
brought to the correct
consistency by adding fruits or
vegetable juice as a
liquid.
