Tips & Tricks
For a twist on leftovers, try serving the soup cold topped with diced cucumber and croutons, or stir in rotisserie chicken. Mirepoix, a classic vegetable mixture consisting of 2 parts onion and 1 part each carrot and celery, is used as a flavor base in many French dishes, such as soups, stews and braises. Leeks can also be used in place of onions, as seen in this recipe. Mirepoix is available in the produce section of some grocery stores and is a great way to reduce prep time.
