To cook a new soup every day means to settle in the kitchen, near the stove. Cooking, as a rule, takes a lot of time, and any housewife wants to feed her family deliciously, and leave time for other things. And give the family some variety. In order to save time, you can, of course, use semi-finished products and cubes, but there is little benefit from such food. However, you can make soup quickly. To do this, you need to cook and freeze the broth in advance. Then it will be possible to please the home with a new soup at least every day.
It is necessary
-
- a large saucepan or several medium-sized saucepans,
- the products necessary for the broth preparation recipe,
- glass jars of different sizes,
- food storage trays,
- ice molds,
- plastic bags,
- stickers,

Instructions
Step 1
If you are working and want to be able to quickly prepare soups on weekdays, you will have to set aside time, for example, on weekends. Get the largest pot you can find at home. If the broth is to be frozen, then in large quantities. Stock up on the prescription foods you need, naturally by increasing the amount proportionally. Or, for example, take three smaller pans and buy food for three different broths. Then you can diversify your family's menu even more.
Step 2
For freezing, you can choose any simple broth recipe that can form the basis for making several soups. Meat can also be frozen along with the broth. It is better to pre-cut it into small pieces. You can also make a ready-made dressing, for example, for borscht, and freeze it. Then you just need to mix the dressing with the broth, reheat, and the soup is ready. Fully prepared soups can also be frozen. Like broth, soup must be frozen on the same day it was cooked, after cooling to room temperature.
Step 3
Let the cooked broth cool completely. Then take glass jars. Banks must be cleaned. For greater confidence in their sterility, you can rinse them with boiling water. It is better to take several cans of different sizes. In large jars, you can freeze broth in case you are going to please your family with soup, and in small ones in order to add it, for example, when making sauces. Pour the cooled broth into jars, close the lid tightly and put it in the freezer. You can also freeze broth in food storage trays. For this purpose, it is better to choose glass rather than plastic dishes. Pour the stock into trays, close the lids tightly and put them in the freezer. The broth can also be frozen and stored in conventional plastic bags. It is convenient to pre-freeze the broth in ice cube trays and then pour them into the bag. Then, whatever the recipe, you can defrost the amount of broth you need.
