* Raah Brachot 39a argues on the Rif that vegetables soups are haadama that they are all shehakol just like fruit juices. He explains that the gemara meant that the bracha on the vegetable exempts the water but the water itself would have just been shehakol. Kaf HaChaim 205:11 rules that one should recite a shehakol because of the opinion of the Raah. Or Letzion 14:31 agrees. Similarly, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Brachot]] pg 164) holds that it's preferable to be concerned for the opinion of the Raah and make [[Shehakol]] on vegetables soup, however, if one made HaAdama on the actual vegetable it covers the liquid as well. [The Laws of [[Brachos]] (chap 11, pg 329-330) writes that if one eats the liquid without the vegetables or a minor amount of vegetables the liquid is primary, however, if one also eats the vegetables in the soup the Bracha is HaAdama on the vegetables and that also covers the liquid as well.] </ref> | * Raah Brachot 39a argues on the Rif that vegetables soups are haadama that they are all shehakol just like fruit juices.

# The bracha on carrot soup is haadama on the carrots and that exempts the carrots.<ref>Mishna Brurah 205:9, Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha ch. 21 p. 271) quoting Rav Elyashiv</ref> But if there's only a few vegetables in the soup and one really wants the soup and the vegetables are just there to enhance it the bracha on everything is shehakol.<ref>Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha ch. 21 p. 271)</ref> | |||
# If one is only eating the broth of the carrot soup the bracha is shehakol.<ref>Vezot Habracha (Birur Halacha ch. 21 p. 271) writes that the bracha on carrot soup broth is shehakol since the broth doesn't have a strong taste of carrots which is a condition (C) to make haadama on soup from vegetables.</ref> | |||
