• A. Cream Soup
• B. Thick Soup
• C. Puree Soup
• D. Clear Soup

Answer: (D)

Clear soups are built on a base of flavorful liquid from stock, broth, or consommé and are served transparent, not thickened or blended. They can include ingredients like vegetables or noodles, but the liquid remains clear. Chicken noodle soup and minestrone fit this type because they are essentially light, seasoned broths with add-ins, not creamy or puréed. In contrast, cream soups are thick and opaque due to dairy, puréed soups are thick from blending vegetables into a smooth mass, and other thick varieties gain body from starch or dairy. So, the best match is the clear soup category.
