TAKE STOCK
A good stock is the foundation of any soup. You can’t beat a homemade chicken stock: place a roast chicken carcass, a halved onion, celery stalk, carrot, bay leaf and a handful of black peppercorns in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a very gentle simmer for 2 hours, regularly skimming off any scum, then strain and cool. Alternatively, here are some really good ready-made stocks…
