Get Started NowSoups and stocks bring warm thoughts, not because they are hot and tasty in a chilly time of year, not because of the homey comfort feel that comes along with eating a soup or stock; soups derived from stocks bring warm thoughts because of both of these facts plus more. Soups, when made from homemade stocks, are a place of not only comfort and warmth, they are a source of utilizing repurposed foods and saving money. They are a place where the chef can use his or her creativity. In the professional chef's world, making soups is a way of reducing the cost of food while showcasing the chef's talent by not foretelling that soups are made with repurposed foods.
