Of course, there are tried and tested recipes to follow, but if you\u2019re at the end of the day and just want to make do with what you\u2019ve got, a great winter soup will help you do just that. And since zero waste in any and all areas of life&#8217;s resources is always your best case scenario, here are some simple tips to turn even those improv soups into delicious family dinners.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>HEAT EQUALS FLAVOUR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis may sound counter-intuitive, but in order to get the best out of your soup, it helps to start off without liquid to caramelise some of the ingredients. Whatever it is you are making into soup, spend a few minutes with them in the bottom of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/dr-green-oval-roast-pan-with-glass-lid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a hot, \u00a0heavy based, and preferably non-stick and non-toxic, pot<\/a> and get a bit of colour onto them. Don\u2019t burn anything, that will leave a bitter taste behind, but some brown, sticky bits are perfect for adding an extra layer of flavour, and only takes a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are, of course, exceptions to this: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cauliflower soup should be a pure white, and caramelising introduces a brown element, so steer clear<\/li>\n<li>ditto if you\u2019re looking for a clear, brothy soup, so be mindful of what you\u2019re making<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>TEXTURE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nConsider the texture of your final soup. Do you want it smooth, brothy, or chunky? Whatever you decide, use that to guide you on how carefully you cut up your veggies. If I know that I\u2019ll be blending my soup, I\u2019m not too careful about how uniform I chop the veggies into, but if I\u2019m leaving it chunky, I want to make sure there\u2019s still some texture left, and I want everything to be cooked properly. In other words, if you are blending, you can technically overcook whatever size the veg was cut into, but if not, be more considerate when cutting things up and aim for a uniform cubes or rounds, where possible, to ensure even cooking (and no over- or under-cooking). Use a decent knife so you have cleanly cut veg, not hacked and sawed, stringy ensembles.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>COLOUR<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThey say we eat with our eyes first, and that\u2019s especially true when it comes to things like soup. Consider broccoli soup. It\u2019s delicious and nutritious, but if you cook it until the broccoli is far overdone, you\u2019ll get a greyish mass at the end, that will probably taste edible, but look extremely unappetising. This is especially true for green veggies &#8211; cauliflower doesn\u2019t change at all &#8211; so be careful to cook those green with a measure of delicacy &#8211; enough to be soft when blended, but not too much that they lose their appeal.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>CONTRASTING ADD-INS<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re planning to blitz your soup smooth at the end, consider a contrasting texture to add interest. You could quickly toast up a few seeds or nuts, or make crunchy croutons with some leftover bread.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/by-nature-organic-pumpkin-seeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toasted pumpkin seeds<\/a> taste delicious in tomato based soups (and hearing them pop and snap is all too much fun)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/kitchen-garden-shelled-sunflower-sprouting-seeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toasted sunflower seeds<\/a> are so complementary for green soups<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/by-nature-raw-unpasturised-almonds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toasted almond<\/a> slivers and cauliflower are a magic combo<\/p>\n<p>Making a spicy soup? Dollop a bit of yoghurt or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/good-life-organic-coconut-milk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coconut cream<\/a> on top before you serve, for a cool, creamy contrast to the hot, spicy soup. A full bowl of the same texture, no matter how delicious, can get a bit monotonous, so think about quick things you can add to change things up a bit (this is also a golden tip for sprucing up store-bought soup).<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natures-choice-nutritional-yeast-flakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">add in nutritional yeast<\/a>, you get a lovely cheesy flavour and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/superfoods-organic-shelled-hemp-seeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hemp seeds<\/a> for extra nutrition and nutty, creamy goodness!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>STOCK &gt; WATER<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nYes, you can use water to cook your soup, and it will likely be delicious, but if you have the time to make your own stock, you can take your soup from nice to incredible in one easy step. Stock becomes especially important in brothy soups (less so for chunky or blended soups, but still wonderful to have). This is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/how-to-make-a-super-quick-10-minute-vegetable-stock-178858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a quick 10 minute veggie stock<\/a> that you can make while you prep for the rest of your soup, and is a wonderful back-pocket recipe to have. If you can&#8217;t be bothered, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/massel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Massels veggie, chicken style and beef style stocks<\/a> also add wonderful, healthy flavour.<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget, if you&#8217;re making the soup ahead of time and want to keep it toasty without continued cooking, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/wonderbag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wonderbag is an absolute must<\/a>. You can even start cooking on the stove and transfer to the bag for \u00a0extended slow cooking without any electricity. And with potential load shedding &#8211; that&#8217;s always a win-win.<\/p>\n<p>These 5 tips should help to improve your soup game this winter.
