Recipe Tips

• Proper Ingredient Handling: For instance, when working with garlic, to easily remove the skin, press the clove under the flat side of a knife blade; the skin will peel off effortlessly.
• Temperature Awareness: Use a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of meats, ensuring they are cooked to perfection without overcooking.
• Resting Period: After cooking, let meats rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomato products?

Yes, you can use fresh tomatoes, but you will need to cook them longer to break them down and achieve the same texture as canned tomato products. Blending the soup well after cooking will help.

How do I prevent the milk from curdling in the soup?

To prevent curdling, make sure the soup is not boiling when you add the milk. Stir continuously and keep the heat on low while adding the milk gradually.

Can I make this soup vegetarian or vegan?

Yes! To make it vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and skip the parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
