Easy Soup Recipes
Almost all of these easy soup recipes from France go together quickly, so they are great to make when you need a healthy dinner on the table fast. They include a quick potato and leek, onion, tomato lentil, chicken stock and a number of creamy vegetable soups.
French Soup Recipes
In France, a distinction is made between soupe and potage. Une soupe has small pieces of meat or vegetables in it, as you would find in a classic onion soup. Une potage, on the other hand, is blended to form a homogenous liquid.
Serving soup as a separate course before the main course can mark an elegant beginning to a meal. This may be a good option if you have planned on serving something simple, like poached fish or a grilled steak, for a main course. If you wish to serve soup as a first course to a more complicated meal, do not hesitate to make it ahead of time. Most soup takes quite kindly to rewarming. If a recipe contains cream, it is a good idea to add this after rewarming, to insure that it stays blended properly.
Of course, many easy soup recipes can serve as the main course for family meals. If you serve the soup with a good quality baguette, most people can easily fill themselves with a rich, creamy potage.
