Main Idea:
Soups are based on stocks added with other ingredients for variety of flavor, consistency, appearance and
aroma.There are Principles in soup production that can be use in making flavorful and memorable soup:
Example/s:
Starting with Cold Water(1stPrinciple.)
Most protein, vitamins and minerals dissolve in cold water. Part of the flavor comes from these components. Using hot
water would lessen the flavor and nutritive content of stock.
Cutting vegetable to appropriate size for the type of stock.( 2ndPrinciple.)
The size of cut helps the maximum flavor to be extracted.
Select your protein based.( 3rd Principle)
Beef, Chicken, Pork and Fish All bones are washed, roasted or blanched. Roasted for brown sauce and blanched for white
stock.
Simmering(4th Principle)
Gentle extractions aid in flavor and nutrition. Boiling causes cloudiness through agitation of the ingredients.
Skimming(5th Principle)
Keep the stock clear. The scum on top of stocks contains impurities.
Other Principles:
Meats, Poultry and Fish
Cuts of meat that are less tender should be added early in the cooking process
Poultry needs to be added early enough so that it cooks thoroughly
Add fish closed to the end of the cooking process to keep it from overcooking.
Grains and Pasta
Allow a little more time in cooking.
Beans and Legumes
Soaked beans, lentils and black-eyed peas should be added with the liquid so they will fully cook
Dense or Starchy Vegetables
A small-diced cut of potatoes, carrots, and winter squashes will require 30–45 minutes to cook.
Green Vegetables:
These vegetables should be added during the final 15–20 minutes of cooking the soup
Adjusting Consistency
Thick soups may continue to thicken during cooking and may need additional stock or water added to adjust the
consistency
Degreasing
Broth-based soups maybe prepared in advance, cooled and refrigerated. This facilitates removing of congealed
fat from the surface. Skim the top layer of fat from a hot soup with a ladle, alternately.
