Best Tips for Making Soup
Make Your Own Stock
For clear soups, the stock is the most essential ingredient. The foundation of the soup is an abundantly flavored stock. A flavorful broth can be made from your own cooked chicken, beef, seafood or vegetable. Also, excess broth or stock can be stored away in the freezer for future use.

Use Bite Sized Ingredients
Having well chopped ingredients will allow for a bite to have all of the ingredients on one spoon. Larger pieces can hinder the ability to easily scoop all of the ingredients.

Sauté the Veggies
Garlic, onion, leeks, carrots and celery are the basic components of a simple soup recipe. Sautéing them in oil or butter is a step that will help boost and enhance the flavor of the soup.
