Cooking at Home #6- Soup

I made some tomato soup for this weeks soup lesson. It smelled like a mixture of tomatoes and chicken. I think it was because I put chicken broth in it. It also looked very appealing, I decided I wanted the chunky tomatoes and carrots in it because it looked better that way. So I didn’t end up putting it in the blender. I tried it right after, and it tasted it better than I thought it would be. It definitely tasted like tomato soup, but it was a little salty for my taste. I’ll put a little less salt next time or put in more water. I used several youtube videos and tutorials so I don’t mess up. If I were to make this dish again I would definitely fix the saltiness. Maybe I can boil it again and put some more water in the soup. Some challenges were waiting for the soup to thicken. It did end up thickening but it took a lot of patience that I didn’t have. I decided to search up how long it takes to thicken soup, and put a timer on. I waited with a lid on for a long time. I also put the heat up a little.

My greatest success and what I was proud of was probably my knife skills. I felt more at ease cutting and chopping up veggies. I remember it was hard to chop things without my hand wiggling, but this time, I chopped through things smoothly.
