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?
