Soup is a popular warming dish in the middle of winter, so this is an appropriate time to have a day celebrating soup. Whilst most soup may be purchased pre-made these days, before the advent of canning it was much more common to make your own. It is still not too difficult to make your own soup, even if it is a bit more complex than simply opening a can - or, for fresher soups, a refrigerated cardboard container - and heating it up.
Homemade soup, like all soup, can vary tremendously, from the very simple to the very complex, from a clear, thin soup to one so packed with ingredients that it's essentially a stew. It all depends on how far you want to go. Ingredients used, such as vegetables, can be left in chunks or blended to make a thicker, opaque soup.
There is one easy way of making homemade soup. It is possible to buy appliances that do it all. Add the ingredients to the machine which then blends them and, in a manner that reduces the amount of cleaning, also cooks the soup afterwards. You can't get much easier than that when it comes to making your own soup.
