soup-making
Simmering stock activity
Soup-making is the process or activity of preparing soup—combining ingredients like vegetables, meat, or legumes with liquid and cooking them together.
The term emphasizes the craft or practice rather than a single instance: She learned soup-making from her grandmother.
It often implies homemade rather than canned or instant preparation.
