Reflection…
For this lab we had to find a broth base soup recipe with our new groups to create the next day. The soup we decided to make was a Chicken and Dumplings soup, it was originally a cream based soup but we tweaked it a bit to make it follow the criteria that we were given, we got rid of the heavy cream that was originally needed and switched it with normal chicken broth and added some flour to help thicken it.
What i think went well for me was i had a lot more confidence, i felt i didn’t really have to ask much questions and i feel like i helped out my group a lot and i tried my best to help when it was needed. We also had great communication if we needed help or clarification on the recipe then we were helping each other out with that, finally our time management skills were really good, we were able to finish the soup and clean up with time left to spare.
I think that next time we need to be a little more prepared and make sure we have everything sorted out before we start cooking because we made the mistake of accidentally choosing to make a cream base soup instead of a broth base soup so we were a little suck when trying to figure out how to fix it, but we were able to get everything sorted without much set back but hopefully next time we can be more prepared and ready to go.
Overall i think the soup turned out great and me and my group ended up working very well together which i think was what part of this lab was about, getting to know our new group members and being able to make a great soup to show off how good our teamwork is. I was very proud of how the soup turned out and i never had a Chicken and Dumplings soup before so i’m so glad we made it. I would definitely make this soup again it was great but next time i think i might add a little bit more vegetables into the soup to fill it up a little more.
For these reasons i think that i would give this recipe and lab 5 stars, i’m really glad to have done this lab it was a good learning experience, i am also glad to have worked with the group i was put into.
