Using aluminum foil directly to make soup is not recommended. Aluminum foil is not designed for cooking food as it can react with acidic or alkaline ingredients, potentially releasing harmful substances into the food. It is also not heat resistant and can melt or warp when exposed to high temperatures. For safe and effective soup making, use materials specifically designed for cooking, such as stainless steel, enameled cast iron, or non-stick pots. These materials are safe for cooking and can withstand high temperatures without compromising the quality or safety of your soup.
