Not all cooked food float in soup. Fish balls are made from fish paste. There are tiny air bubbles trapped inside the paste. When they are cooked, the air bubbles made the fish ball lighter and as a result, the fish balls float in soup.So the fish balls will float in the soup . :D
How can you neutralize too much salt in a stew?
Put 2 large peeled raw potatoes in your stew. It will soak up the extra salt. After 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, taste your stew and if it is still a little salty let the stew brew for a bit longer. Don't forget to take the 2 large potatoes out before serving.
Another way...Add mashed potato flakes to the stew. This will also thicken your sauce and you may need to add some water. This is the only remedy that has worked for me, but I have used it hundreds of time without fail.
You could also try a pinch of sugar, which may help in some cases.
Adding something acidic like wine helps to neutralize salt, and to a beef stew, add some salt-free tomato sauce.
There is a Japanese cooking wine called Mirin, a thin version of corn syrup with other ingredients. This also works. Use 1/4 cup or less, adding it a little at a time, to taste. This does not remove the salt content; it only masks it . The main thing is to avoid putting added salt in your cooking , until you taste it.
You could also add a few drops of lemon juice. I've always found lemon juice to neutralize the salt content in my dishes.
Who invented the chicken noodle soup?
chicken soup was never actually made well not necessarily because there were two people in a kitchen and one was making chicken and vegetables and the other was making noodles and when they walked into each other and then their foods went together so they tasted it and called it chicken noodle soup.
Is it okay to eat canned soup after the expiration date?
Yes.
During the canning process, the soup is cooked at a high temperature (around 130 degrees Celsius) killing any harmful bacteria.
The can itself is coated with an inert resin which helps protect the contents from being tainted or spoiled by bacterial contamination as well as prevent the can from corrosion. The inside of the can is sterile before being filled.
The can is sealed air tight which prevents the growth/introduction of bacteria after canning (and of course keeps the soup inside).
If the canning process was done properly, the soup will last for years or even decades past the expiration date without being harmful. (I'm actually finishing off a bowl of chicken soup which expired four years ago).
However, if the can is bulging in any way, then the soup inside is not safe to eat. As bacteria grows and multiplies in the soup, it creates a by-product of CO2 gas which creates the buldge/pressure in the can. Over time, the can could burst due to the pressure.
Why is soup good for you when sick?
= Chicken soup is medicine, U.S. scientists confirm = October 17, 2000

WASHINGTON -- Scientists say they have confirmed what grandmothers have known for centuries -- that chicken soup is good for colds. Chicken soup -- as made by grandma -- contains several ingredients that affect the body's immune system, a team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center found. Specifically, it has anti-inflammatory properties that could explain why it soothes sore throats and eases the misery of colds and flu, Dr. Stephen Rennard and colleagues said Monday. "Chicken soup may contain a number of substances with beneficial medicinal activity," the researchers wrote in their report, published in the journal Chest. "My wife was making chicken soup one year for the Jewish holidays and we were talking about its effects on colds," Rennard, a specialist in pulmonary medicine, said in a telephone interview. "I said 'well, maybe it has some anti-inflammatory effect,' and she said 'really?' and I said 'why not?' and I said maybe we could find out in the lab." As it turned out, Rennard's lab was well-suited to making such tests. "In the lab we study inflammation and injury and repair mechanisms in the lung as related to asthma and emphysema and so on," he said. So Rennard's wife Barbara Rennard made up a batch of her grandmother's chicken soup, which includes chicken, onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips, carrots, celery stems, and parsley. Rennard said his wife added no salt but did include matzo balls, a kind of dumpling. Then they ran laboratory tests. Not only did they test the soup as a whole, but they separated out the components. "These tests were in the laboratory and it doesn't test (chicken soup) clinically in colds," Rennard stressed. They found that chicken soup and many of its ingredients helped stop the movement of neutrophils -- white blood cells that eat up bacteria and cellular debris and which are released in great numbers by viral infections like colds. Neutrophil activity can stimulate the release of mucous, which may be the cause of the coughs and stuffy nose caused by upper respiratory infections such as colds. "All the ingredients were found to be inhibitory, including the boiled extract of chicken alone," they wrote. Rennard said vitamins and other agents in the ingredients could, plausibly, have biological action. The researchers also went to the store and bought 13 different commercial brands of soup to test. "About a third of them were more active than grandma's soup," Rennard said, adding that he could not remember which kinds of soup they were. "One or two of them had very little activity at all. Vegetarian vegetable soup had some activity." To be safe, they also tested plain Omaha tap water which, to their relief, had no effect. "If tap water were active, that would be disturbing in a number of ways," Rennard said. Some researchers have suggested in the past that perhaps the steam from the soup, or the chicken fat, may play a role in soothing inflamed airways. Rennard said this was possible. He also said there could be a "TLC" (tender, loving care) factor. "If you know somebody prepared soup for you by hand, that might have an effect," he said. Rennard said he had no immediate plans to test chicken soup any further. "I have no doubt that generations from now, people will read this and the only thing of interest will be the recipe," he said. "It really is good soup."

How many calories is in an instant soup?
This is a question that cannot be answered without knowing what type of soup you made and each individual ingredient you've used and the amount. Add them together and you'll have a pretty good estimate.
How long can beef stew be left at room temperature?
four hours is the maximum for any food at room temperature. === === Four hours is too long. Potentially hazardous food should not be left out more than 2 hours. If the ambient temperature is around 90°F, cut that to 1 hour.
The US Food Code recommends that potentially hazardous food be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then further chilled to 40°F within another 4 hours. So after 2 hours, the food should either be reheated to 165°F or placed in the fridge to cool further.
Four hours was an old recommendation, but that was to get the food from 140°F to 40°F. Which means it would have to be fully chilled by the end of that time frame - not still sitting out at room temperature.
What salad to serve with beef stew?
Traditionally, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding is served only with hot vegetables and gravy. Roast potatoes, crisp outside and creamy-tender inside are practically essential.
Otherwise, vegetables used tend to be carrots, green beans, steamed and buttered green cabbage, maybe parsnip. Brussels sprouts (properly cooked, nice and green!) are popular.
Gravy is made with the pan juices from the beef.
In my experience the main meal is sufficient, with maybe dessert to follow and perhaps a hot soup to start.
Where a salad is going to fit with such a meal is a problem, and one that wouldn't be contemplated by true lovers of this wonderful English meal.
If you must have salad at some stage of the meal, consider a light mixed salad - lettuce, bright tomatoes, cubed cheese and crusty bread, served before the roast, but don't be surprised if your guests dine sparsely on the salad so they've plenty of room for the beef and all the trimmings.
The spoon would probably be made of medal.

How can I remove a metallic taste from soup?
The bitter taste comes from the white flesh between the outer shin and the fruit. Avoid eating that and it will help a lot. Also otherwise bitter and sour can be helped with good old sugar. Some people taste these flavors more strongly than others and have troubly with strongly flavored foods.
How do you decrease pepper taste in soup when it is too strong?
Put a large peeled raw potato into the pot for 1/2 an hour, taste and if still too hot with the pepper, then put another potato in and leave another 1/2 hour. Peeled, thickly sliced, raw potato has more exposed surface area than a whole one. One can dilute the soup with stock (if possible) or add water and a thickening agent. It may be possible to hide the taste a bit with something else strong, like herbs or a bit of brown sugar.
How many calories are in 1 cup of potato soup?
The calories in a cup of soup are determined by the ingredients used to make the soup, the quantity of those ingredients, and how may cups the soup produces. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Without knowing that information we cannot accurately answer your question. On the other hand, if the soup comes from a can, carton, or packet, the calorie content is usually listed on the container.
