Cozy Soups and Stews

A soup tastes thin when nothing was browned. The colour on the bottom of the pot before any liquid goes in is most of the flavour, and deglazing lifts it back into the broth instead of leaving it to burn. That single step separates a stew that tastes like its ingredients from one that tastes like water with things in it.After that it is layering and patience. Aromatics early, hardy vegetables next, delicate ones late, acid at the very end to wake the whole pot up. The recipes here say when to add each thing and why, and they say when a soup is better on the second day, because some are.For the long braises that share this logic on a bigger cut, see Beef Stew and Slow Simmered Comfort Meals. For something crusty to serve with it, Bread Baking.
