Learn how to cook "How to cook delicious, fragrant and useful broths and soups". Delicious recipe.
1. How to get fragrant and golden broth ? Carrots, celery and parsley are not put uncut in the pan. First cut in half, then bake without fat on one side. Pour a strained decoction of the peel of 1-2 onions into the broth, and you can put a whole unpeeled head instead of the decoction. The broth becomes surprisingly beautiful, downright amber.
2. If you intend to boil broth, pour the water into a saucepan, close the pot with a lid and bring to a boil (let this happen as soon as possible). Then reduce the heat and remove the lid.
3. If the broth you are preparing is intended for making sauce or for jellying meat, do not salt it.
4. The meat broth is salted half an hour before the end of cooking, the fish - at the beginning of cooking, and the mushroom - at the end of cooking.
5. Does the foam sink to the bottom of the dish? Pour a little cold water into the pot, the foam will rise to the surface and make it easier to remove.
6. To keep the broth transparent for a longer time, heat it in an open pot on low heat and as soon as it boils, remove from the heat.
7. If you make potato soup with vegetables containing acid, such as sorrel, then they are put at the end of cooking, because otherwise the potatoes will become hard.
8. To improve the taste and aroma of the chicken broth , add lightly fried (until light golden) chicken bones during cooking.
9. The broth becomes tastier if 1 tablespoon of sherry is added to the bowl / plate.
10. Before adding a raw egg to the soup, first beat it in a small amount of cold broth. This will distribute the egg evenly in the soup.
11. Rice soup will be transparent if before boiling the rice, put it for 3-5 minutes in boiling water (cleaned and washed), then drain the water with a sieve.
12. Just before removing the soup from the heat, pour in some fresh juice of carrots, tomatoes, cabbage. This improves the taste of the dish and enriches it with vitamins.
