1. Do not consume industrialized powdered soups, as they contain a lot of sodium in their composition.
2. Cleaning vegetables should preferably be done with bleach. The proportion is 1 spoon (tea) for 1 liter of water.
3. Some ingredients for soups – The most suitable pasta are the short ones like ringlet, our father, ave maria, angel hair and letters. Beans can be beaten in a blender. Leftover rice can also be used.
4. Salt – For each liter of water used in the recipe, season it with 1 teaspoon of salt. Check the salt at the end of the soup preparation.
5. Did you salt the soup? – To correct the salt in the soup, boil it for another 10 minutes with some raw potatoes, cassava or carrots. Remove the ingredients, which will have already absorbed the excess salt.
6. For creamy soups that are special in flavor and texture – In the last minute of preparation, without stopping stirring and without letting it boil, add fresh cream and natural yogurt.
7. Ginger – Ginger enhances the flavor of broths made from red meat and chicken.
8. More flavor – When serving broths, drizzle with olive oil or add spoonfuls of cream cheese.
