Common mistakes
What to avoid
- 1Bringing soup to a hard boil. Simmer only - boil clouds the stock and breaks delicate proteins.
- 2Skipping the bloom step for spices. Frying spices in oil first multiplies their flavor.
- 3Adding leafy greens too early. They overcook in seconds. Stir in at the very end.
