There are many! The simplest is to cook it with the lid off - the water will evaporate, resulting in a thicker soup. You can also puree soups in batches in a food processor or using an immersion blender for added texture. Mashed potato flakes or heavy cream stirred in a little at a time will also make good thickeners.

Depends on the soup. Personally, I'd just turn the heat up a little and let the water cook off. That will always thicken it up. And if it gets too thick, just drop in a cup of water and stir.

i agree it depends on the type of soup. if the soup is fully cooked try putting the flour stuff in a separate pot. and add the broth off the soup, whisk well add back into the other pot..
sometimes i will pour the brothy part into another pot and whisk about 2 egg yolks per litre of stock and pour it into the stock, ( oh i almost forgot the broth should not be boiling just under it ) then heat for a few minutes add to the rest of soup and serve. this is how to thicken chicken lemon rice..yummo
i almost forgot .. .. that idea for potato flakes is a good one and i will keep it in mind.. thx :)

In a small bowl mix a little cornstarch and water. Mix well and then add to soup. After awhile the soup well thicken. If you want it to be even thicker, add more roux.

There is a very easy way to thicken anything. Add some instant mashed potato flakes.

Mix flour into a small amount of melted butter and stir it into soup to make a stew like consistency. This takes practice not to get lumps. I am a pinch and snip cook, sorry I can not give you exact measurement.

Mix cornstarch with COLD water. Then add it to the soup. Mix it well, and bring it to a boil. (You won't know how thick it'll get until it comes to a boil.) Finish cooking it like you normally would.
Good luck!

We have to add conflour powder in vessel and stir it well and we have to see that there is no balls of powder it should be like a thick solution and poured in soup.It you want more thickness follow the same procedure.
