Soup is a little more forgiving, and often even better when you let it take its time. A few simple techniques can turn everyday ingredients into something rich, cozy and full of flavor. The next time you make a pot of soup, try these simple techniques for even better results.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"art\"><span>1. Flavor Starts Before the Simmer  <\/span><br \/>\nBefore the broth ever hits the pot, give your soup a head start. Saut\u00e9 onions, carrots and celery until they\u2019re soft and lightly golden, then brown any sausage or ground beef before adding the remaining ingredients. Stir herbs and spices into the pot for about 30 seconds to \u201cbloom\u201d them, bringing out deeper, more complex flavors. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of vinegar or fresh herbs just before serving to brighten every bowl.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>2. Don\u2019t Toss That Parmesan Rind <\/span><br \/>\nOne of the best soup ingredients is probably already sitting in your refrigerator. If you\u2019re making vegetable, tomato, minestrone or bean soup, simmer a leftover Parmesan rind in the pot, then remove it before serving. It adds a rich, nutty flavor that makes the broth taste like it simmered for hours.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"art\"><span>3. Blend Just Half <\/span><br \/>\nFor creamy soups, you don\u2019t need heavy cream or even to pur\u00e9e the entire pot. Blend just a portion of the soup, then stir it back in. You\u2019ll get the best of both worlds: a creamy broth with plenty of hearty vegetables in every spoonful.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Simple Tricks for Better Homemade Soup Some recipes ask for constant attention.
