FAQs
How Do You Make Chicken Soup Taste Richer?
The easiest way to make soup taste richer, is to make it thicker. You can make soup thicker by adding a tablespoon of cornstarch at a time, until it reaches the consistency you require. If it tastes bland and you'd like to enhance the flavor, the easiest way is to add a pinch of salt and pepper - yes, it really is that easy. It won't make the dish taste overly salty, it will just bring out the flavors of the dish. You can also try adding your favorite herbs and spices. Whether it's parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, or even chives - they'll all help to make the soup taste richer and more flavorful.
What Can I Add to Soup to Make it Sweeter?
There are several options you can try to make soup sweeter. But with this particular soup, one of the best options is to try using tomato paste. Tomatoes are naturally sweet, so adding tomato paste or tomato puree is a good way to add sweetness, as well as additional flavor. You could also try adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yoghurt; this may also help the richness of the soup too!
