TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Celery And Leek Bone Broth Soup:

• Use White Parts Of Leek: They soften quickest and add sweetness without strong green flavours.
• Keep Heat Low: Maintain medium-low Heat to avoid browning garlic, which can make it bitter.
• Chop Evenly: Even-sized celery and leek ensure consistent texture and cooking.
• Add Freshness: Stir in chopped parsley just before serving for a touch of green brightness.
• Reserve Broth Cold: Keep extra broth on hand for quick warm-ups or blending.

VARIATIONS

• Vegetarian Option: Switch to vegetable broth and optional diced potato for added substance.
• Protein Addition: Add shredded chicken or cubed tofu in the last few minutes for extra protein.
• Herb Variation: Include thyme or tarragon for additional aromatic dimension.
• Bulk It Up: Stir in pre-cooked barley or quinoa for more filling comfort.
• Low Sodium: Use low-salt broth and season carefully, finishing with lemon juice or vinegar.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Allow to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freezer Storage: Best frozen without garlic (which can become bitter); store in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
• Reheating Instructions: Reheat gently on low Heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally to maintain a nourishing consistency.
