Delmondo Sorell asked the cooking recipe:

Soup is a comfort food that can be found all over the world. Soup can cheer you up when you’re feeling under the weather, or help you fight the chill on a brisk day. Soup helps us to keep from overeating, but we are careful not to take too much soup. Soups are an excellent way to use leftover grains and beans. Soup is deliciously simple to prepare, quite a cheap meal idea, very nutritious and easy to digest. Soup makes a wonderful meal, and once you make a pot or two, you’ll discover it isn’t really that hard to make. Soups can serve as a main dish when they are hearty and filled with meats and vegetables. Soup can be transferred to a large bowl and kept covered in cling wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for future use. Soup helps you include lots of vegetables in your family’s diet.

Soup recipes are always popular but they seem to become even more so when the weather starts to cool down. Soup recipes are versatile enough for any situation, on any day. Soup recipes are actually among the most forgiving of all when it comes to measurements, substitutions, etc. Soup recipes can be made for an appetizer, a lunch or dinner. Soup recipes are not necessarily used just for the winter time, or when you are sick. Soup recipes are warming, good for you and simple to make.

Soup recipes are usually stock or broth-based, like chicken noodle soup, or they can be creamy, like creamy mushroom soup. Chicken noodle soup is warming and pleasing and many of us have fond memories of the homemade chicken noodle soup we enjoyed as children.

Chicken soup can be enjoyed as an appetizer, as a meal in itself or as a comforting drink at any time of the day or night. Chicken soup comes in many varieties, including Asian, Mexican, Japanese, and Thai style soups and there are plenty of international stew recipes also. Chicken soup recipes are low in fat, even more so if you skim the fat from the top of the soup before serving. Chicken soup is cheap and easy to prepare, nutritious and easily digestible, making it a very good food for convalescing people. Chicken soup has been prescribed to cure colds, by draining nasal passages and through the blend of nutrients and vitamins that slow the growth of certain white cells. Cooking a bone in a chicken soup recipe can increase the amount of calcium in the soup recipe too.

Learn More About Asian Cooking Equipment

Abhishek Agarwal asked:

If you have never been to Asia and this is your first visit then you should prepare yourself for a surprise, as far as the cooking equipment is concerned. Many people may be aware of the ‘Wok’ used to cook Asian food, however there are a score of other cooking implements that are sure to be new to your mind. So, if you are one of those individuals who love to try out new recipes then you are going to love experimenting with the newer implements from Asia.

So to get down to the fun of it all lets start by explaining the basic cooking utensil used by one and all in the heartland of Asia – The Wok. In any Asian household or restaurant you will find the Wok to be the most basic and useful cooking implement. The Wok is generally made of pure stainless steel or cast Iron.. This utensil is a concave structure with two metallic handles on either side and comes in various sizes.

This implement has many uses. It can double up as a frying pan most of the time. Use it to stir fry, deep fry or steam your dish. The uses of the Wok are endless so to keep this cooking implement in good shape it is best that you keep it well greased when not in use – the most important tip for up coming cooks.

The next important and omnipresent piece of cooking equipment is the clay pot. You will find this utensil in every Asian household. This is the Asian version of the famous English Stew Pot. The difference is the shape and the material it is made out of. The Asian Clay pot is made out of clay baked in an oven. There is also a difference in the way the dish is cooked using this clay pot. The English will place the pot in an oven while the Asian Clay Pot is placed on the stove. There is a quality to the clay pot that no metal vessel can provide. If the dinners are late the clay pot keeps the meal steaming hot for over an hour.

Any Asian household and restaurant is incomplete without the Steamer. This is a favorite with all Asians and they usually come in an assortment of sizes. Steamers start with as little as a 6 inch diameter and move all the way up to a foot in diameter. The traditional steamer is made from bamboo though in modern times they have been showing up in aluminum. The steamer is a great utensil to steam food such as rice and vegetables, however it also has an added use – it can be used as a serving dish too.

And these are just a few of the Asian cooking implements we can mention here.
