Soup And Stew Recipes

The best time to eat a hearty stew or hot soup is in the autumn or winter when the weather is cold or dreary. However, soup and stews can be eaten in the spring or summer. There are lighter stews and cold soups just perfect for such occasions.

The key in making a good soup or stew is to let it cook long enough without cooking all the flavour out of the main ingredients which make the base. You can indeed overdo it. If you want to let the flavours mellow, you do not have to over-cook it to achieve that goal. Cook it halfway and let it stay in your refrigerator overnight, then continue the cooking process the next day. Much like with vegetables, the longer you cook a soup or a stew, the more you boil out all the vitamins, minerals and fibers. You render all the ingredients into a flavourless mush.
