Soup tips

Ever burn the bottom of a pot and swear off soup altogether? You probably didn’t deglaze! I request that you deglaze in this chapter more than any other! Deglazing is when you add a cold liquid (wine, broth, water, beer) to the hot aromatics in the pan to loosen them up. Then you can gently scrape the bottom of the pan to get all that yumminess. Happy pot, happy life.

Another way to make sure that the bottom of your pan doesn’t burn is to stir often and keep the heat at a good, not-too-high level. That sounds obvious, but it’s easy to forget if you’re doing a million things or just browsing the internet for area rugs.
