Question:
After I have finished the vegetables in the soup, must I recite a blessing over the liquid?
Answer
No, because the liquid is secondary to the soup (the ingredients), similar to the law of Pat HaBa’ah B’Kisnin where one does not bless even when eating only the filling (Taz). However, this applies when the vegetables are the majority. If the soup also contains meat in a significant way, one recites “Borei Peri HaAdamah” over the vegetables and “Shehakol” over the meat. When there is a substantial amount of rice, one also recites “Borei Minei Mezonot.”
