Review: For this being the first soup I have ever cooked it was awesome. Although we had some ups and downs we still made a great soup in the end. The thing that went really well in in the making of this soup was the advantage of having 4 group members, this really helped in preparing the soup in no time and allow us to finish our soup by the time the bell range. It also really helped in being able to not have to rush because we didn’t have enough group members, but that was not the case. I’m sure you know that not everything can go right every time, one thing that didn’t go well for us was that when we were cutting our onions it’s caused us to cry as if we just saw a sad movie. This caused us to cut some of the onions not the same size as others causing them to not cook as equally at the same time. Now there is always something you can do differently to make the recipe better, what I would do is to try and cut the onions faster so that I don’t start to cry again. This will allow us to cut the onion more of the same size so that they can cook evenly. In the making of this soup I learned that cutting onion is not easy it is hard to deal with your crying while also trying to cut with a very sharp knife. My suggestion is to be prepared for what cutting onions is going to do to you, IT WILL Make YOU CRY!!!!! All in all the soup was great, it was a nice and easy soup for our first one. I really enjoyed making it!
