What each ingredient does

Giblets
Provide the main meat and flavor of the soup.
Stock
Forms the liquid base and carries the flavor of the soup.

The step that matters

Simmer slowly until tender. Gentle simmering lets connective tissue break down slowly, making the meat tender. A hard boil toughens proteins and can cloud the broth.
