Helpful Tips on Winter Soups

• Build flavor from the start: Start with sautéed onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. Let them cook for a while. This will add so much depth to all of your soups in the winter.
• Use robust ingredients that last well: Winter vegetables, beans, lentils, heavier grains, and hardy greens make good winter soup because they do not lose their texture when cooked for a long time.
• Let the soup simmer for better taste: Allow your soup to simmer, and this will help the flavors of the soup combine. An additional 10-15 minutes will make a big difference in the warmth of the soup.
• Finish with a small flavor boost: A squeeze of lemon juice, a dash of vinegar, some chopped herbs, or a splash of olive oil adds the perfect finishing touch to the soup.
