Can you blow a bubble with pure water? NO WAY... because the surface tension of the water does not allow you to do so.
Can you blow a bubble with soap-water solution? YES...
Soap molecules contain hydrophobic chains that do not wish to stay in water. so they squeeze out to the surface of water and increases the gap between the water molecules on the surface, there by decreasing the surface tension of the water. With surface tension decreased you can blow a bubble.
Here you can ask one more question...
Why are Bubbles always spherical and not cuboid or some other shape?

How does a bubble freeze?
A bubble can freeze when the water film inside the bubble cools down rapidly, causing the water molecules to slow down and form into a solid. This process is similar to how water freezes into ice, but in the case of a bubble, the thin film of water solidifies into a delicate ice structure.
Can you blow a bubble that is cubed shaped?
No, a bubble's natural shape is a sphere due to surface tension and pressure forces. The molecules in a bubble are free to move in all directions, allowing them to distribute evenly and form a sphere. It is not possible for a bubble to take on a cubed shape.
Composition of a water bubble in boiling water?
A water bubble in boiling water is composed of water vapor, which is the gaseous form of water. The bubble forms when water reaches its boiling point and the water molecules evaporate into gas, creating a pocket of vapor within the liquid water.
If you squeeze me I'll pop?
The answer is "bubble". When you squeeze a bubble, it pops.
Why does a bubble float up?
A bubble floats up because it is less dense than the surrounding air. The air trapped inside the bubble is lighter than the air outside, causing it to rise. Additionally, buoyancy forces in the liquid the bubble is formed in also contribute to its upward movement.
