French onion and Chicken tortilla belong to which menu category?

• A. Bats and bites
• B. Salads
• C. Wings
• D. Soups

Answer: (D)

Both items are soups, meaning they are liquid-based dishes served hot in a bowl with a broth or stock as the base. French onion soup centers on caramelized onions in beef or vegetable broth, often topped with melted cheese and a crouton. Chicken tortilla soup is a broth-based dish that includes chicken, vegetables, and tortilla strips, usually seasoned and served as a soup. On a menu, soups are grouped together because of this common format and serving style, not with salads (cold greens), wings (finger food), or bites (small plates). So they naturally belong in the soups category.
