BOUILLON: Made from lean beef, clarified and seasoned. Exception, Clam Bouillon.
CONSOMME: Made from more than one kind of meat, highly seasoned with herbs and vegetables, usually cleared.
BROWN SOUP STOCK: Made from lean beef browned and highly seasoned. Soups made without stock are as follows:
CREAM SOUP: Made of vegetables or fish, with milk and a small amount of cream and seasonings. Always thickened.
PUREE: Made by adding the pulp of cooked vegetables to milk or cream. The milk is thickened with flour or corn starch in order to bind the solid and liquid parts together. Purée is generally thicker than cream soup. Stock is sometimes added.
BISQUE: Made from shell fish, milk and seasonings.
