Tips

1. It is said that Western soups generally taste better after being cooked overnight. The amino acids in vegetables will be fully released, and the aroma of vegetables and soup will be better integrated.

2. The thick soup will become thicker when it cools down. When it is heated again, you can add an appropriate amount of milk to dilute it to a suitable consistency.

3. The boiling water part can be replaced with an equal amount of chicken soup or other broth, which will give a richer taste. But be careful that the color of the soup stock should be clear, and the condiments should not be too strong, otherwise it will destroy the color and texture of the soup itself.

4. High-gluten flour is best used for stir-frying white sauce/making thick soup base. I didn’t have any on hand, so I could use regular flour.
