Features: Clear soup has the characteristics of short heating time, preserving the tenderness of food, and a light, clear broth that doesn't become cloudy. Because the ingredients are heated for a short time, only a small portion of their freshness can dissolve into the soup, and it is even more impossible to enrich the soup with the ingredients' own freshness. Therefore, using stock as a soup base is very important. How can you make stock at home? The bones for making stock can be chicken bones or pork bones. First, blanch the bones to remove blood, then rinse them clean, let them cool, and then pack them into bags and store them in the freezer. Next time, it will be much more convenient to take them out to make soup. Alternatively, you can first simmer the stock over low heat to create a concentrated broth, pour it into a container, and freeze it into ice cubes. Then, wrap each ice cube individually and store it. When using it, just take out one cube, add a little water, and simmer it until it melts—this is both convenient and delicious.
