Watch: Quick way to make chicken soup that saves money

Anyone will tell you that making soup/sauce is the most demanding part of cooking. Lots of ingredients and cutting and measuring.

In the end, it feels easier to order food. Other times it forces each person to come up with their recipes. Chicken soup is one of those custom recipes that is both nutritious and delicious.

Even better, a well-prepared pot of chicken soup will last for days. It can be made a staple with complements of other simple sauce and it can be repurposed for different sauces.

Storage

It can be stored for up to 4 days in a fridge.
Use clean utensils and ingredients.
Make sure surfaces and hands are clean.
Cover well.

1. After cooking, split the soup into small containers to cool faster at room temperature. After two hours, put it back in big uncovered container and place it in a fridge for two hours.

At that point, it should be around 35 degrees. Cover it and leave it in the fridge.

Reheat to eat.

2. If you don't have a fridge, add a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar into the soup. It will not drastically change the flavour and will make the PH a bit acidic to stop growth of bacteria. It won't last as long as the refrigerated soup but it will be fresh for a few days.
