How To Turn Your Freeze Dried Ingredients into Fantastic Soups!

Описание: This video is different than anything I've done before. It's showing you more of my technique for recipe development more than a particular recipe. But y'all know me... there's sort of a new recipe in it, even if I didn't measure. It's what you might call a formula or a framework for how to make soups in general. I have 8 basic steps that you can customize to create basically any type of soup. All you need is a general idea of what kind of soup you want to end up with. Plug your ingredients into this "formula" and you'll have great soup! You'll find the formula below.

Framework for Creating Fantastic Soups:
Depending on how many servings needed, adjust accordingly. For 4 servings, base these measurements on a 1-cup starting point. For smaller 2-serving amounts, cut everything in half.

1. Aromatics (FD mirepoix - onion, celery, carrots) - 1 part
2. Oil (olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, butter, tallow, etc.) - 3 to 4 Tbsp
3. Filler vegetables (any FD veggie you like) - 2 to 3 parts
4. Filler starches, optional (pastas, rice, canned beans, instant FD beans, tortellini, gnocchi, etc.) - 1 to 2 parts
5. Flavor enhancers (garlic, bouillon powders, spices, herbs, seasonings, sauces and sauce powders, pastes, etc.) - to taste (start with 1/2 tsp of seasonings and build up according to your preference; for sauce mix powders, start with 1-2 Tbsp and go up from there)
6. Proteins, optional (FD meats, fresh rotisserie chicken, frozen meatballs, canned meats, etc.) - 1 to 2 parts
7. Liquids (water, broth, stock, bone broth, etc.) - 7 cups, give or take
8. Fantastic finishers (heavy cream, half & half, milk, cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, parmesan, acids like lime juice, lemon juice, or red wine vinegar, thickeners, drizzle of sesame oil, etc.) - to taste
