Soups are one of the easiest meals to make and one of the most nurishing. A good soup on a cold day is most fullfilling.
Some soups like chicken soup have long been known as a folk remedy. Which has now been proven as a fact by researchers
at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. They found that hot chicken soup can help unclog nasal passages. It helps
aid in increasing the flow of nasal mucus. It also tastes good. To make a good soup you will need to have a broth.
Which can be made from the boiling of a meat in water, with onion, and vegtables then strained, or you can start out
with buying ready made broth such as beef broth or chicken. Cream soups have a milk for its base, and some have both
a broth and a milk. The longer you cook a broth based soup the better the taste, that is way using a slow cooker is a
very good way to make soups and stews.
You can put almost anything you like in a soup. It's one of the best ways to use up left over meats and vegtables. A
good turkey noodle soup after thanksgiving, or a great bean soup after a meal with ham has long been a stable with our
grandparents. I will give you basic recipes, you are free to add to them or take away something you don't like. You are
also able to top off your soup in many different ways.
Here are a few ideas: Crumbled bits of bacon (when you fry bacon for breakfast fry a couple of extra, crumble it and freeze it for later use), or
sprinkle with some shredded cheese, croutons, crushed tortilla chips, crackers, sour cream or just serve it plain.
