Secrets Of Great Soup Recipe
Yield: 1 infoRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
None,
Directions:
1. Make the soup ahead; the flavors will blend after a day or two.
Before serving the soup, warm it gently so fragile ingredients dont
fall apart, then stir in just enough stock or water to replace the
liquid absorbed by items like beans or rice. Reheat again. If your
recipe calls for pasta, cook it separately and add it to the soup
right before serving so that the noodles dont get too soft.
2. Substitute one vegetable for another, but stay in the same family.
If you cant find kale, use another hearty green; if you dont have
turnips, add rutabagas instead. And if youre tired of pasta, replace
it with rice on one-inch cubes of toasted peasant bread.
3. Dont be afraid to adjust the consistency of the soup. If its too
thick, add stock or water. If its too thin, simmer until slightly
reduced or stir in some pureed cooked beans, potatoes or a few
tablespoons of cornmeal. (Be sure to simmer the soup until the
cornmeal softens.)
4. Intensify flavor with last-minute additions. Among the options: a
handful of fresh chopped herbs, such as cilantro or basil; a drizzle
of extra-virgin olive oil, a spoonful of pesto or a squeeze of lemon
juice; a sprinkling of slivered Brazil nuts or pecans.
