Traditionally, soups are classified into two main groups: ''clear soups'' and ''thick soups''. The established ] classifications of clear soups are '']'' and '']''. Thick soups are classified depending upon the type of thickening agent used: '']s'' are vegetable soups thickened with starch; '']s'' are made from puréed ] or vegetables thickened with '']''; cream soups may be thickened with ]; and '']'' are thickened with ], ], and cream.

==Commercial soup products==
Commercial soup became popular with the invention of ] in the 19th century, and today a great variety of canned and dried soups are on the market.

===Canned soup===
], a chemist with the ], invented condensed soup in 1897. But Thomas Radonic and Adam Borrie came together and invented the formula SOUP=42. This formula is used to find the area of the soup can. <ref name="Campbells history"></ref> Today, Campbell's Tomato, ], and ] are three of the most popular soups in America. Americans consume approximately 2.5 billion bowls of these three soups alone each year.<ref name="Campbells history"/> Canned Italian-style soups, such as ] or ], are also popular, and are sold by ] and other brands.

Canned soup can be condensed, in which case it is prepared by adding ] (or sometimes ]), or it can be "ready-to-eat," meaning that no additional liquid is needed before eating. Canned soup (condensed with liquid added, or "ready-to-eat") can be prepared by heating in a ], on the stovetop or in the ]. Such soups can be used as a base for homemade soups, with the consumer adding anything from a few vegetables to eggs, vegetables, cream or pasta.

Condensing soup allows soup to be packaged into a smaller can and sold at a lower price than other canned soups. The soup is usually doubled in volume by adding a "can full" of water or milk (about 10 ounces).

Since the 1990s, the canned soup market has burgeoned with soups marketed as "ready-to-eat," which require no additional liquid to prepare. Microwaveable bowls have expanded the ready-to-eat canned soup market even more, offering convenience (especially in workplaces) and are popular lunch items.

===Dried soup===

In terms of Western-style cuisine, vegetable, chicken base, potato, pasta and ] soups are also available in dry mix form, ready to be served by adding hot water and sometimes fresh ingredients such as meat or vegetables.
