How to make a good soup
Soup is one of the easiest meals to make well, and one of the best to make ahead.

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.
Keep your meals and routines in one place
Log meals, water and your daily rituals in one private journal. Free, no sign-up, and it stays on your device.
Open GlowsinceSeason 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.
