Asbury Park Press
* When substituting fresh herbs for dried, triple the amount called for.
* A bitter cucumber will ruin a soup. Taste it first.
* Correct seasonings in soups after chilling
* If your blender won't puree smoothly, sieve afterward if you want a smooth texture
* Tasty, colorful garnishes ++ croutons, fresh herbs, chopped hard boiled egg, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt ++ can elevate a soup from "very tasty" to spectacular
*If a fruit soup is too syrupy or tart, a small amount of light wine corrects the problem better than plain water.
* To reduce fat in soup recipes, low fat sour cream or nonfat yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
