Soup is a liquid hot dish – the first course. Many varieties of soups have received independent names, some have retained the word “soup” in their name. You will find on our website many thousands of recipes for soups and hot dishes for every day and your homemade soup will always be a delicious dish.
Hot dishes are cooked in fish, meat, bone and vegetable broth, potatoes, pasta, rice, peas, buckwheat, beans and dozens of other ingredients are added. Fragrant spices and spices give a special flavor to the liquid dish, you can not do without fresh herbs. They serve it in a beautiful soup tureen, filling the plates right at the table.
Depending on which liquid is the basis for cooking, there are different types of hot dishes. In the simplest soup recipes, meat, fish and vegetables are cooked in water, but soups with beer, milk, fermented milk products, brine and vegetable juices are no less delicious. According to their composition, hot dishes are divided into meat, fish, vegetables, cereals, mushrooms, dairy, fruit, with dumplings, with legumes and pasta. Recipes for the simplest soups are vegetable soups, chicken soups with noodles, dairy soups with rice and pasta, potato and fish soups.
According to the cooking technology, it is possible to distinguish transparent soups, thickened (with thickening components), refueling vegetables, puree soups, fried (products are first fried, and then filled with water) and sweet.
Having mastered some culinary techniques, you will know how to cook hot dishes, and gradually adapt the recipes “for yourself”. The basis of a good soup is a rich and nutritious broth (meat, fish, vegetable, mushroom), which is an independent dish.
Our recipes with photos will give a complete picture of the technology of cooking these delicious dishes in different cultures of the world: French cream soup, Indian dal, Italian minestrone, Spanish gazpacho – recipes for delicious hot dishes are so diverse that it will take a lot of time to experiment.
Bouillabaisse – a cult dish of South French cuisine – is a fish soup. The main ingredients of this soup are fish (at least 5 types) and vegetables. Of course, this rich soup with an unusual history is very tasty and healthy, but there is also some danger in it – you can easily get carried away and get up from the table only when there is nothing left in the tureen!
I love lancet fish for its tenderness, softness and juiciness. There are no bones in it, except for the central cartilage. But we all know that during the heat treatment of this wonderful fish, a lot of fish juice is released. So let’s use this feature for good: cook it with paella. Let the juice soak the rice and make a delicious, fragrant dish out of it. And we don’t need fish broth.
Paella… It is difficult to add something new to the main recipe of this Spanish dish. But I tried anyway. It turned out delicious, satisfying and beautiful!
In the Cantonese dialect of Chinese, the name of this dish means “little gift”. “Dim sum” – steamed little edible treasures hidden in dough baskets are popular almost throughout Asia. But the most favorite dish is still, I think, Chinese. The filling can be different. Today we have chopped seafood.
We can say that this soup is the basis of Chinese cuisine. It has a specific sharp taste with a sour tint and a very pleasant aroma, and soy sauce just gives it those Asian notes that distinguish it from other soups. The taste of the soup is specific, whether you like it or not, but I think the recipe will interest only true connoisseurs of Asian cuisine.
Cannelloni is a dish as characteristic of Italy as pizza and pasta, although in fact it is pasta with all kinds of fillings. I suggest you get acquainted with cannelloni with seafood. Interestingly, I met the idea of using crab sticks in this recipe precisely in the vastness of the Italian (!) culinary blogosphere. Apparently, there are problems with fresh crabs in Italy, and then high-quality crab sticks may well diversify the taste of the dish and add those sweet crab notes to it. In our latitudes, the situation with crabs is much worse, and sometimes you really want to treat yourself to Italian dishes, well – there is nothing easier!
It is under this name that a magnificent lasagna with seafood, an unusual sauce and juicy crab sticks is hidden. The mastermind behind this recipe is Jamie Oliver.
