1 and 2 are both OK; 2 is more common.

In the recipe:

1 - Delete the words "many" and correct the spelling of "over."

2 - OK

3 - Replace the first "a" with "the" and delete the other two ("a" and "an").

4 and 5 - OK

6 - Replace "Lay" with "Put" (I don't know why!).

7 - Replace "sesames" with "sesame seeds" or "sesame oil" -- whichever you mean.

8 - Replace "them" with "it" since you are now referring to ONE thing -- soup!

9 - OK

Nice job!
