- Eels
- Provide the main protein and rich flavor that defines the soup.
The step that matters
Reducing the liquid by half. Cooking until half the liquid evaporates concentrates the flavor of the broth. Stopping too early leaves it thin and watery, while reducing too far can make it overly salty or intense.
