Gather Your Ingredients

The beauty of village soup is in its simplicity. You don’t need a long list of ingredients; in fact, you can use whatever you have on hand! Common components include:

Broth (chicken, vegetable, beef – your choice!)
Vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions, or whatever is in your fridge)
Proteins (leftover chicken, beans, or tofu)
Herbs and spices (bay leaves, thyme, pepper, or even a hint of chili)
Some Stewing Goodness dehydrated vegetable mix to elevate the flavours

You can easily adjust the proportions to suit your taste. The magic of village soup lies in the ability to customize it to your liking!

Quick Steps to Your Delicious Broth-Based Soup

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get cooking! Here’s a straightforward approach to preparing your village soup:

Start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and throw in your diced onions. Sauté until they’re translucent and fragrant.
Next, toss in your chopped vegetables. Carrots and potatoes work wonderfully. Allow them to cook for a few minutes to bring out their natural sweetness.
Pour in your broth. The amount can vary depending on how thick or soupy you want your dish. For a heartier soup, use less broth; for a lighter version, add more.
Now it’s time to add your protein – whether that’s leftover chicken or any other option you have. This adds a satisfying element to the soup.
Season generously! The dehydrated vegetable mix Stewing Goodness is designed to will elevate your soup. Don't forget to add some salt!
Let everything simmer together until all ingredients are tender, usually around 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Once your village soup is ready, taste it and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve it hot, and enjoy the warm, fragrant goodness!

Make It Your Own!

One of the best things about village soup is its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients or flavours. You can always count on the Stewing Goodness to deliver the flavour. Add some greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrition, or even a splash of cream for a richer taste. The key is to have fun and make the soup that brings joy to your table.

In conclusion, this village soup recipe embraces the spirit of culinary creativity. So, the next time you find yourself with random ingredients, remember this recipe! It's an open invitation to create a comforting bowl that warms your heart and fills your belly.
