5 tips to cook smooth soup without separating

Soup is an attractive dish with a characteristic smooth texture, very suitable for family meals or parties. However, if you do not know how to cook it, the soup can become watery, lumpy or separate, reducing the deliciousness. Here are 5 tips to help you cook delicious, smooth soup perfectly!

1. Choose ingredients with natural adhesion

To make the soup naturally thick without using too much flour, you should choose starchy ingredients such as: Potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin: When cooked and pureed, they help create natural thickness. Beans (peas, white beans): Make the soup thicker while still retaining a sweet taste. Corn: The starch in corn helps create a smooth texture for the soup.

2. Stir constantly while cooking to avoid separation.

One of the reasons soups separate is because the starches are not evenly mixed. Stir the soup gently while cooking, especially when adding milk, cream, or flour. If you are cooking soup with eggs, beat the eggs and pour them slowly, stirring in one direction as you pour to avoid lumps.

3. Use appropriate thickening agent

If you want the soup to have a nice consistency, you can use one of the following ingredients: Cornstarch: Dissolve in cold water before pouring into the pot, helps the soup to thicken without clumping. Potato starch: Creates a light consistency, not lumpy like cornstarch. Fresh cream or condensed milk: Increases the smoothness, giving the soup a smooth texture.

4. Adjust the temperature when cooking

Soups should be cooked over low to medium heat, not boiling too hard as this will cause the liquid to separate. If using milk or cream, add it last and do not let it boil too long to avoid separating. Once the desired consistency is reached, turn off the heat immediately to maintain a smooth texture.

5. Puree and strain the soup to achieve perfect smoothness

Once the ingredients are soft, you can use a blender to puree the soup, which will help the mixture blend better. If you want an even smoother soup, strain it through a sieve to remove any lumps and fibers.

Apply these 5 tips immediately, you will have a smooth, attractive soup without separation or lumps. Try it now to treat your family!
