Best 4 How To Make Soup Recipes
SIMPLE CHICKEN SOUP
This comfort food classic is just as flavorful and soul-satisfying as Grandma's chicken soup, but where hers took several hours-or a day-to make, ours takes under an hour. Instead of long-simmered stock, we start with store-bought chicken broth and water but enrich them with stock vegetables and the carcass, bones and meat of a leftover roast chicken.

Steps:
- Put the bones and carcass from a leftover chicken (they can be in pieces) in a large pot. Cover with the broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
- Remove the bones and carcass with tongs or a slotted spoon; set aside to cool. Add the carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf to the broth, bring back to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are about half cooked (they will still have resistance when tested with a knife but be somewhat pliable when bent), about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice (to keep it from sticking to the bottom), and cook until the grains are just al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, when the carcass and bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
- When the rice is done, add the meat to the broth and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste. Serve hot.

BEEF SOUP FROM SCRATCH
This is how I make beef soup. It's a day-long process and produces a beef soup with amazing depth and flavor. Much of the stock process comes from the advice of my father. If you have large and meaty soup bones, use two, otherwise use 3. Roasting the bones prior to making the stock makes a world of difference in flavor. Be sure to leave the skin on the onion. It will also add significantly to the flavor and color of the stock. The soup (after the stock is made) is mostly taken from Jeff Smith's (Frugal Gourmet) recipe for Beef Barley Soup, but I swap yellow potatoes for the barley because it is better in texture. For the lemon peel, just use the zest. Simply use a grater to peel a small 1" x 1/2" or so piece and drop it in the soup. The lemon is really surprisingly wonderful.

Steps:

- Cover everything with water.

- Strain stock into bowl. Discard solids (I always eat the carrots or give them to my toddler) and return stock to stockpot.
- Heat to low simmer. Add celery, carrot, onion, potatoes, garlic, lemon peel.
- Simmer for 1 hour.
- Add the herbs and chopped tomato and paste, and continue cooking for 1 more hour. Correct for salt and pepper before serving.
