What do I add to my vegetable soup for flavour?
How do you make vegetable soup without stock or broth? What do you add to make your soup flavourful?
It’s easy. Let’s keep this simple.
By adding a combination of the following you can turn simple ingredients into a truly delicious soup…
- Salt (preferably sea salt as it is better for you).
- Warming spices, such as ground coriander, Garam masala, cumin, nutmeg, ginger, black pepper, paprika, or curry powder.
- Dried, powdered vegetable seasoning, such as onion and garlic powder, all give an instant depth of flavour to vegetable soup.
- Vegetables. Don’t underestimate the flavour that will infuse into your soup from the vegetables that you use. Think about how flavourful leeks, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and celery are. Then remember that as they cook, veggies such as sweet potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower all lend themselves to a tasty medley of flavours in vegetable soup.
- Fresh herbs. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to add soft herb leaves such as basil, parsley, coriander (cilantro), and mint a the end of the cooking period. This unleashed the herb flavour, allowing it to infuse into your soup. One exception is rosemary. With tougher needle-like leaves, rosemary benefits from a longer cooking period to release its flavour.
- Roasting your vegetables before adding them to the soup releases a depth of flavour and earthy sweetness. This works especially well with pumpkin, squash, rutabaga (swede), onions, and garlic.
- Saute (a posh word for fry) your leeks, onions, mushrooms and garlic in the pan, before adding everything else. This will deepen their flavour and works wonders at giving your soups a delicious taste.
