Reading Practice: Cooking Soup in the After-School Club

Reading Text

The after-school cooking club met in the school kitchen on Thursday. Coach Lee put a recipe on the table for vegetable soup. The students washed their hands and tied on clean aprons. Each pair received a bowl, a wooden spoon, and a small board for cutting vegetables.

Mina worked with Jack. They washed carrots and potatoes, then asked an adult to help cut them into pieces. Coach Lee heated water in a large pot and added the vegetables. Mina stirred the soup while Jack placed bread slices on a tray. They waited until the vegetables were soft.

The club set the table and ate together. Mina thought the soup tasted best with a little pepper. Before leaving, the students washed the bowls and wiped the counters. Coach Lee asked everyone to write one thing they had learned. Mina wrote that reading each step first made cooking easier. She took the recipe home to try with her family.
