FAQ

What gives vegetable soup that depth of flavor?

A squeeze of citrus, a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of cream, a dusting of cheese or a good chile powder, a sprinkling of some herbs or croutons — all can take a perfectly fine soup into the realm of the delectable. Even a spiral of good olive oil to finish and some coarse sea salt can do wonders.

What cut of beef makes good soup?

What is the best beef for soup? For beef soup or stew, there is no better cut of meat than chuck! Buy a thick chuck pot roast and cut it into chunks for the best tender flavor. Chuck roast is a tougher cut of meat than sirloin or rib roast which really benefits from pressure cooking or slow cooking.

How do you add depth of flavor to beef soup?
