Taste Of Home Soups Cookbook

Best Tips For Making Soup Recipes

1. Season to taste. Raw vegetable ingredients need seasoning, and vegetable broths vary in salt level. If your soup is bland, dont hesitate to add generous pinches of salt and lots of fresh black pepper. Taste as you go!

2. Drizzle with olive oil. I always finish soups with a generous drizzle of olive oil. It adds richness and makes the flavors sing.

3. Save some for lunch! Soup often tastes better on the second day, so be sure to make enough to have leftovers. Most soup recipes also freeze well for up to a few months. Check out this post for my best freezing tips!

4. Spice to your level. Customizing your soup is the fun, creative part of cooking soup recipes. If youre making a recipe that calls for lots of spice but you prefer milder flavors, start with less. If you like things spicy, add more! Taste as you cook, and adjust the flavors to make something you really love.

Tomatillo Zucchini White Bean Chili, page 99 of Love & Lemons Every DayThis zesty green chili is nice and hearty, but its so flavorful that I always go back for a second bowl. Serve it with homemade cornbread for a pitch-perfect weeknight dinner.

Pumpkin Tortilla SoupI love classic butternut squash soup as much as the next person, but when it comes to soup, winter squash can do so much more! Try simmering it in a smoky roasted tomato broth to make this delicious vegan spin on tortilla soup.

This black bean soup is creamy, spicy, and satisfying, but best of all, its really darn easy to make. It has a permanent spot in my regular recipe rotation, and I think it will in yours, too!

About the Author

I’m a big fan of soup at any meal, and I find having everything to make 2 or 3 soups on hand at all times really reduces dinner anxiety. So far I’ve made 4 of the recipes at random and all were good. Every recipe has a picture. The recipes call for normal ingredients you can find at your local store. A really nice book to have around to help you make affordable, full and yummy lunches or dinners that also hold up well as leftovers. I’m looking forward to making the Red Flannel Soup that contains beets and corned beef! Really unique. This book contains a variety of recipes from: seafood soups, meat soups, vegetarian options and even a few Indian and Asian soups. So far I’ve made the chickpea curry style dish, the tortellini and spinach, the split pea, and the shrimp orzo. I would make all of them again. Next up I’m making the chicken enchilada soup. A few here and there don’t sound so great, , but hey. My goal is to spend the next several months cooking through this book to find at least 3-4 more family staples that we can’t live without. It’s been making my weeknight cooking a lot less dreadful. –KT and RL

Carrot Silicone Herb Infuser

Joie

Youll get plenty of use out of this gadget when you put your Soups, Stews & More cookbook to work. Instead of bundling herbs and spices in cheesecloth with kitchen string, just load up the carrot. The Test Kitchen team appreciated that the infuser lid had a secure fit, which prevented the contents from floating out. We like that the carrot stem attaches to the edge of the stock pot, but keep in mind that youll have to unhook it in order to completely cover the pot with a lid. Good news: It floats, so it was easy fish out with small tongs.
