Other thickening agents for
soup
1. rice 2. flour 3. grain 4. cornstarch
2. Cutting vegetables to appropriate size for the type of stock . The size
of cut helps the maximum flavor to be extracted.
Ex: 1. A fish stock only simmer for ½ an hour (30 minutes) so the cut
should be julienne (thin strips: ¼ inch thick, 2-3 inches long).
Ex: 2. A brown stocks simmers for 4-6 hours and sometimes 24 hours,
so the cut should be 1” cubed so that stock will have time to extract
the flavor and will not fall apart after a long cooking.
3. Select your protein based: Beef, Chicken, Pork and Fish. All bones
are washed, roasted or blanched. Roasted for brown sauce and
blanched for white stock.
4. Simmering. Gentle extractions aid in flavor and nutrition. Boiling
causes cloudiness through agitation of the ingredients.
