It is not always possible to prepare soup with cereals or pasta so that it turns out not only tasty, but also beautiful.

And all because cereals and pasta tend to boil over.

Sometimes they even turn into mush, making the broth cloudy.

However, this is impossible in restaurants, where soups always look perfect.

The thing is that restaurant chefs resort to one trick.

We tell you how soups with cereals are prepared in restaurants.

How to prevent cereals from overcooking

You won't see overcooked grains in a restaurant soup, because in restaurants all the ingredients for the soup are prepared separately. They are mixed just before serving.

Making a restaurant-quality cereal soup isn't all that difficult.

For example, you want to make soup with chicken and rice. Boil the rice separately, and the chicken separately.

Then add the sautéed vegetables to the broth, and after 5 minutes – the rice.

After boiling, add chopped herbs and let the soup sit for 15 minutes.

Cloudiness of the broth is excluded when preparing soup in this way.
