A good soup should have the following features:
1. Clear or Thick Consistency: The texture should match the type of soup (e.g., clear consomme or creamy bisque). ́
2. Rich Flavor: The flavors should be well-balanced and natural.
3. Aromatic: A good soup has an inviting aroma from herbs and spices.
4. Nutritious: Soups should include healthy ingredients like vegetables, proteins, and grains.
5. Visually Appealing: Use garnishes like herbs, cream swirls, or croutons for presentation.
6. Proper Temperature: Serve soups hot or cold depending on the type (e.g., Gazpacho is cold).
