Imagine it this way, in sentences we have someone that does the action, the action itself, and the thing or person that receives the action.
Laura is the person who does the action. Therefore, it’s the subject. “Cooks” is the action whereas “soup” is the thing in which the action relies, which means that soup would be the direct object.
You can also ask yourself: What does Laura cook? the answer will reveal the direct object.
Let 's practice!
What is the direct object in:

Bear in mind that not all verbs accept a direct object. You can cook something but you cannot die something for instance.
