How to make a good soup

Start with flavor

Soften onion, garlic and carrot in a little oil before adding anything else. This one step makes the biggest difference.

Choose your base

Broth, canned tomatoes or a blended vegetable base all work. Taste your broth before you season anything.

Simmer gently

A gentle simmer keeps vegetables tender. A hard boil tends to make them mushy.

Season at the end

Salt, lemon or vinegar, and fresh herbs added at the end make the flavors brighter.

Freeze in portions

Soup keeps well in the freezer for weeks. Cool it fully, then freeze it in single-serving containers.
