Reading

Ethan's grandfather used to be a chef, and every Sunday he teaches Ethan how to cook a new dish in the kitchen. This week, they decided to make a vegetable soup together. First, Grandfather showed Ethan how to wash and chop the carrots, potatoes, and onions safely using a small knife. Then they fried the onions in a large pot until they turned soft and golden. After adding the other vegetables and some water, they let the soup cook slowly for forty-five minutes. While waiting, Grandfather told Ethan stories about working in busy restaurant kitchens when he was younger. Finally, they added salt and pepper to taste and served the soup with fresh bread. Ethan enjoyed the cooking lesson so much that he asked to learn how to bake bread next Sunday.
