Soups and Broths

Dishes served primarily as a liquid or semi-liquid course, whether a clear broth or a thick vegetable soup. Belongs here: Borscht, Egusi Soup, Gazpacho, Minestrone, Miso Soup, Pho, Tom Yum. Does not belong here: a noodle dish served in broth where the noodle rather than the broth is the defining element, such as Ramen, grouped under noodle and dumpling dishes instead.
