Soup Making Tips -
Cornstarch

Cornstarch is a popular thickening agent for soups, especially clear soups as it has a translucent appearance when mixed with liquid. For best results when using cornstarch to thicken soups, gravies and sauces, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of liquid such as water or soup stock. Stir until the cornstarch mixture forms a paste or is dissolved in the liquid. Adding cornstarch directly and skipping this step can leave you with lumps of cornstarch that are difficult to mash or remove.
