Cooking Tips for Hearty Soup Recipes

How do you thicken soup?

To thicken soup, you can use a variety of methods such as pureeing a portion of the ingredients, adding a roux, using cornstarch or flour slurry, or incorporating cream or yogurt.

Can soup be frozen?

Most soups freeze well, except those containing dairy or potatoes, which may change in texture. Cool the soup completely before freezing and leave some headspace in the container for expansion.

How do you add flavor to a bland soup?

Enhance a bland soup by adding herbs, spices, acid (like lemon juice or vinegar), umami-rich ingredients (like soy sauce or tomato paste), or by simmering with a parmesan rind.

What can I do with leftover soup?

Leftover soup can be refrigerated and reheated, used as a sauce for pasta or grains, or transformed into a new dish by adding additional ingredients such as cooked meat or more vegetables.

How long does homemade soup last in the fridge?

Homemade soup typically lasts 3-4 days in the fridge when stored in airtight containers. Always reheat to a rolling boil before serving.
