While preparing soup, the solid ingredients are boiled in a pot until the flavor is extracted forming a broth.

Canned soup are sometimes condensed, which is prepared by adding water, or ready-to-eat, which only need to be warmed. Condensed soups are sold in smaller packets at a lower price in comparison to ready-to-eat soups. I find the availability of such commercial soups a blessing for people like me who love tasty food but are averse to spending hours cooking.
