Seasoning

Seasoning a soup is mostly about training your-self—tasting and thinking and remembering what you experience.

One of the best ways to teach yourself about how to season is to taste the soup and then taste a spoonful with a little of the seasoning you’re considering. If the seasoning is salt, take a spoonful of soup, add a few grains, and taste and compare. Follow the same method to understand the impact of a drop of vinegar, especially in cream soups. Add a drop of vinegar or lemon juice and compare. Now you can sense the impact of acidity.
