💭 Tips for soup success
- Cut down on prep time by using canned beans and frozen, precut veggies.
- Reduce the cooking time for chicken soups by using fully-cooked rotisserie chicken.
- Soups with red meat (like sausage or beef stew meat) are best made in a
slow cooker . This guarantees tender, juicy meat that shreds easily and falls apart in your mouth. - If your soup includes spicy chiles, please, please, please wear gloves while handling them! It takes a lot of hand washing to remove the oils from your skin.
- Soups freeze really well and last several months in the freezer! Just wait until the soup has cooled to room temperature before transferring it to a freezer-safe airtight container.
