Meat Soups

Meat is the perfect starting point for a flavorful and satisfying soup, and because meat is so nutritious and rich in protein, a generous helping of a well-made meat soup can provide the main course for a simple meal. Meat soups contain relatively little fat because most of the fat is rendered and skimmed off during long, slow cooking.

Meat soups are made in all parts of the world, in many different styles, and flavored using a seemingly infinite number of ingredients. There are, however, certain traditions and techniques that, once understood, help make sense out of what sometimes seems like endless variety and complexity.
