Welcome to this year’s Souptober!
Here at Debora’s Simple Kitchen, soup was not just something that was tradition during General Conference, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, held in the first weekend of April and October, soup was something that I could make in a hurry, to make the budget stretch, and to try something new as we raised our children. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers.
Where does one begin? There are a few steps to follow so you don’t necessarily need a recipe. I love to try new recipes! These steps will help with putting together items you have left over or putting together something out of your food storage.
Soup-a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish, or vegetables, etc., in stock
Stew-a dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid in a closed dish or pan.
Chili-Though many people think of chili as its own category, it is technically just a type of stew, with origins in Tex-Mex cuisine. Chili isn’t a soup mostly because it usually is more solid than it is liquid, with most chili recipes containing majority meat and/or vegetables that are simmered in a tomato sauce. Though some chilis are not made with tomatoes.
I found this graphic that illustrates “How to Build the Perfect Soup” from https://lexiscleankitchen.com/how-to-build-the-perfect-soup/#_a5y_p=4550183
I’ll be posting some recipes this month and hope that you will leave recipes that you like in the comments. Remember I love to try new recipes. 🙂
Time to snuggle up with a hot bowl of soup. Stay warm this winter.
