Actually, not really. In summer I usually eat light meals like salads or grilled fish because I have less appetite, while in winter I prefer healthy energy rich dishes such as stamps and roasted potatoes to feel warmer and more energetic.

× My favorite food is pasta with mushrooms or seafood.
✓ My favorite food is pasta with mushrooms or seafood.
No correction needed. Sentence is grammatically correct. Ensure consistency: use 'pasta' as uncountable (not 'pastas').
× First time I tried it on my friend's birthday it was approximately 3 years ago and still.
✓ The first time I tried it was at my friend's birthday, which was approximately three years ago, and I still like it.
The original sentence has word order and tense clarity problems. Use past simple 'tried' with clear time expression 'was' and link clauses with relative pronoun 'which'. Spell out numbers under ten for formality. Suggestion: place the time adverbial next to the verb it modifies and use 'still like it' to indicate continuing preference.
× I really love pastas.
✓ I really love pasta.
'Pasta' is generally uncountable in this sense, so use the singular uncountable form 'pasta' rather than the plural 'pastas'. Suggestion: use uncountable noun when speaking about a food type in general.
× And every time and you have a chance to order something, I order pasta.
✓ And whenever I have a chance to order something, I order pasta.
Redundant 'and' and incorrect clause structure. Use 'whenever' to introduce the time clause and keep subject 'I' with verb 'have'. Remove the extra 'and' and ensure pronoun matches subject.
× In my childhood, I don't know why, but for some reasons I really love the soups that my mom's make.
✓ In my childhood, I don't know why, but for some reason I really loved the soups that my mom made.
Mix of present and past tenses is inconsistent. When referring to childhood, use past tense 'loved' and 'made'. Use 'for some reason' (singular) as the idiomatic expression. Avoid possessive contraction 'mom's' for 'mom makes'; use simple past 'made'.
× Umm, different types of food of soups was my favorite food and I always eat it and still I really love this type of food with some uh, cheese or chicken.
✓ Different types of soups were my favorite foods, and I always ate them; I still really love this kind of food with some cheese or chicken.
Several problems: agreement between plural subject and verb ('soups were'), use plural 'foods' to match 'different types', and tense consistency (past for childhood 'ate'). Use 'this kind of food' or 'these kinds of food' for clarity. Remove filler words. Use 'cheese or chicken' without 'uh'.
× Actually, not really.
✓ Actually, not really.
No correction needed. Short response is acceptable in context.
× In summer I usually eat light meals like salads or grilled fish because I have less appetite, while in winter I prefer healthy energy rich dishes such as stamps and roasted potatoes to feel warmer and more energetic.
✓ In summer I usually eat light meals like salads or grilled fish because I have less of an appetite, while in winter I prefer healthy, energy-rich dishes such as stews and roasted potatoes to feel warmer and more energetic.
Minor issues: idiomatic expression is 'less of an appetite'. Add hyphen in 'energy-rich' and commas for adjective separation. 'Stamps' is likely a typo; 'stews' fits context. Maintain present simple for habitual actions.
× Absolutely no.
✓ Absolutely not.
Use 'not' instead of 'no' in this short negative response in modern colloquial English. 'Absolutely no' is incomplete without a noun (e.g., 'absolutely no change').
× When I was a child I used to like different types of soups and I still enjoy eating them.
✓ When I was a child, I used to like different types of soups, and I still enjoy eating them.
Main issue is punctuation and clarity rather than grammar. Add commas after introductory clause and before conjunction. Tenses are correct: 'used to like' for past habit and 'still enjoy' for present continuance.
