Soup Making Tip
Vegetable Storage
Most vegetables will store nicely wrapped loosely in plastic wrap and placed in the refrigerator crisper. Onions, potatoes, and tomatoes should not be refrigerated. Place unwrapped in individual bowls on the countertop.

Soup Making Tip
Parsnips
Choose parsnips that are firm, with little or no bend. Choose parsnips that are hard to the touch and free of mold and soft spots.
