What each ingredient does
- Giblets
- Provide the main meaty flavour and body of the soup.
- Stock
- Forms the liquid base and carries the flavour of the dish.
- Herbs
- Add aroma and savoury background flavour to the stock.
- Chablis or trabener
- Adds acidity and a light wine aroma to the soup.
- Saccharin
- Adds sweetness in place of sugar.
The step that matters
Add the wine once the mixture is warm, not boiling. Alcohol and delicate aroma compounds evaporate quickly at high heat. Adding the wine to warm soup and keeping it below a boil helps more of its flavour stay in the finished soup.
