Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours.  In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one cup per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 cups - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
