good soup tips:

Vegetables added to a soup taste better if you
sauté them in a little butter first.

Did you know that Lettuce loves fat: Fat can be
removed from hot soup by floating a large lettuce
leaf on the surface.

Eliminate fat from soup and stew by dropping ice
cubes into the pot. As you stir, the fat will
cling to the cubes. Discard the cubes before they
melt.

Never over-boil soups as they lose their color .

You can camouflage the burnt taste from your soups
& Stews by pouring the liquid gently and carefully
into a clean pan and flavor it with curry powder
or mustard or some chutney.

Salty Soup - Place a raw potato in the bowl & it
will absorb the extra salt.

Thickening for the Soups - Put instant mashed
potato and gravies to thicken. Stir thoroughly and
Keep on adding as much desired.
