π² Thick and Delicious: Exploring the World of Hearty Soups
π² If there's one thing I love, it's thick soups. And today's topic, being about food, is one of my passions. Food in general is something I really enjoy, and I'm particularly drawn to thick soups because they're concentrated, especially when you're in a period where you need to recover energy, you're coming out of an illness, or you're feeling sick. They're really good for that. They're also excellent for curing a π» hangover or πΈ the after-effects of having drunk too much alcohol the day before.
To prepare a thick soup, it's really important to have the right ingredients. For example, the meat should be very lean, the grains should be whole, and the vegetables should be very fresh because this gives them a lot of flavor. I usually prefer to use small-sized vegetables because they concentrate more vitamins and minerals in those small pieces. You need to use enough liquid so that the vegetables and the meat release all their vitamins.
The science of cooking a thick soup is based on cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally so that the ingredients release all their flavor and mix properly. If the soup is too liquidy, you can add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
For presentation, the presentation is very important. You can use fresh herbs like πΏ parsley, πΏ cilantro, or πΏ thyme, π toasted croutons with butter and garlic, and add grated cheese on top, such as π§ mozzarella, π§ parmesan, π§ gruyere, or π§ cheddar. You can also add πΆοΈ red peppers, π° grated carrots, or π mushrooms to give it color. You can make shapes in the soup or use different shaped plates to make it more attractive.
In short, having the opportunity to enjoy or create a thick soup is something very tasty, whether it's chicken, pork intestine, or any other variety of soup. And personally, I like to enjoy them with π lemon because it's a renewing experience that makes me feel alive, it's one of the great pleasures of π life.
