A Guide to Soup Making
Soups are a delicious meal option either as a starter or as a meal in itself. They are easy to make, retain
most the essential minerals and vitamins found in the ingredients and ensure a nourishing and healthy
meal. Soup generally involves cooking/boiling meat or vegetables in water or broth. The rice function is
ideal for making clear and thick style soups.
