Notes

  • The broth — Keep in mind that the quality of the broth perhaps has the most effect on your soup. A better broth will provide a rich, flavorful texture.
 
  • The quantity — As it should be clear by now, the thing with busy day soup is that it is extremely practical and it can be a lifesaver for those busy weekdays when you probably won’t have any spare time for cooking. Making large quantities on the weekends, and freezing them in individual portions is a great idea.
