Soup is suppose to be nutritious, right?
There can be those nasty fats and lots of salt in soup.
But there are ways of getting rid of those "nasties".
These soup recipes tells you how--without losing the flavor.

Stock is the heart of any soup
And a "real" chef will tell you there are two basic types of stocks:
brown and white.
Brown Stock- made by pre-cooking the outside of meat or vegetables at a high temperature--either in the oven or stove-top.
White Stock-(well that is easy)-
don't pre-cook the meat or vegetables.

Stock is water and food ingredients cooked in a stock pot.
Sounds easy? Well it is.
All you need are some bones, vegetables, a large stock pot,
water and a stove. Then let's get to it.

Different bones make different stock.
Who would have guessed?
Cover the bones with cold water, bring to boil.

Carefully skim off the skim and fat.
Add poix (french for combo of carrots, celery,
onions, bay leaves, pepper corn etc.).
For consomme, use well browned meat and high spices (marjoram, pickling spices, etc.)

Bring to boil, turn down and simmer for required time.
