Soups and Broths

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Chop or break meat or bones into fine pieces.

  2. Place the pieces in a pot with cold water.

  3. Let it macerate for a short time to dissolve soluble constituents.

  4. Gradually heat the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 30 minutes for broths.

  5. For soups, maintain a gentle boil for a longer time to extract gelatine.

  6. Use broken bones for better gelatine extraction.
