Frequently asked questions
What's the best way to thicken soup?
Blend a portion of the soup, add a starch slurry, or finish with cream or butter. Each recipe suggests the best method for its base.
Can I freeze soup?
Yes. Most soups freeze well for up to 3 months. Cream-based soups can separate when thawed; add the cream after reheating.
What's the best cut of meat for stew?
Chuck, short rib, or round. These cuts have enough connective tissue to break down during braising, making the stew tender and the sauce rich.
