Honey And Brown Sugar

To mellow tart ingredients in soups and other savory dishes, add a splash of honey or a teaspoon of brown sugar to sweeten and lessen the bite of other ingredients.

A good blender is a necessary tool for the serious soup makers. Removing soups from the stockpot after cooking and pureeing all or part of the soup is a regular activity.
