Soup Variations
Soups are versatile foods that can range from flavorful to hearty chowders. A variety of soups can be found in every culture. Soup can be a nutritious meal in itself, served as an appetizer prior to the main course, or as an accompaniment to a salad or sandwich. A wonderfully prepared soup can set the stage for an unforgettable meal, while a poorly made soup can be customized to personal taste by adding or substituting one or more ingredients.
Seasonings 101
A seasoning is an ingredient used to intensify or improve the natural flavor of foods. When seasonings are used correctly, the flavor of the seasonings should not be noticeable. If seasoning is used incorrectly or in too great quantity, it can make an item inedible or unpleasant to eat. Seasoning should be done in moderation. Seasonings can always be added, but they cannot be removed. Common seasonings include salts, peppercorns, citrus, zests, vinegar, and oils.
