Cream soup is a traditional European dish, but only recently has it gained popularity in our country. It is considered a non-nutritive food, so it is often prepared by people who want to lose weight. Many people confuse cream soup with cream soup, but there is a significant difference between the two.

To prepare the first type of this dish, cooks use a broth to which vegetables are added and cooked to a puree state. The cream soup is made with a creamy or milk base, which is why it turns out to be so tender.

Vegetables chopped in a blender are added to this base. Sometimes, to make the soup as dietary as possible, the addition of oil is excluded. Traditionally, cream soup is prepared in this way: first, all components are boiled or fried, then whipped with a blender. Then the chopped vegetables are bred in broth, water or a creamy base.

Such a ready-made first course must necessarily be homogeneous, without lumps of flour and unwashed vegetables.
