The secret to making a good soup is to use a really good stock.

Good stuff !! Do you use a Blender to break everything up ?

[slinky.kate]

did they have blenders in the olden days,no?so i am not using a blender,used a ham hough,boiled it for one and a half hours,then picked the ham off,not that much meat for �2.50,but stock to die for

[Rollo]

They used to rub things through a sieve before blenders came in.

always use fresh herbs and not dried so much more flavoursome
