Soup Making 101
1. Assess the larder, what do you have to work with?
2. Choose a flavor profile: fragrant herbs, toasted seeds such as cumin/mustard/fenugreeek, fresh bright herbs like parsley and basil, spicy/curry. What are you aiming for?
3. Consistency: chunky, hearty, smooth, brothy
4. Heat your pan/oil/aromatics
5. Cooking method: brown, roast, sweat, poach
6. Liquids: broth, water, juice, cream, purees
7. Meld flavors, cook together just enough to bring everything together.
8. Add creams/herbs/acid
9. Taste and make any minor adjustments
10. Blend if doing so
11. Garnish, go wild here. Garnish a tomato soup with 'cheese sandwich croutons' a vegetable soup with pesto, a squash soup with yogurt and chili, etc.
