"Ele vai fazer uma sopa."

Translation: He will make a soup.

[shatto]

you normally wouldn't say 'make a soup' but just 'make soup'

[Lingodingle]

Or "some" soup, a good translation for "uma" besides, and one of the hints

[E.N.SoulMusic]

You're both very correct!

[AndriyPetr3]

Why I cannot translate it "he will do a soup"? When to use "cozinhar", if you can always use fazer then?

[sharkbbb]

The meaning "to do"="to cook" is informal, non-literal and rare. Generally:

to make food

• to cook = cozinhar
• to prepare = preparar

to do

• to perform = realizar
• to execute = executar

to make

• to create = criar
• to produce= produzir
• to construct = construir
• to fabricate = fabricar

[BertilBorg]

Is it about food?
Or will he make a mess?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, it is about food.

Why does the first dictionary hint give "is taking", but "he is taking a soup" is not accepted?
