Kitchen Soup
My favorite part about being in the kitchen is to be able to feed the tiny core team that has remained to keep our doors open. Some meals have been quietly celebratory, just because. Other times, it’s a big pot of kitchen soup where most of the flavor comes from chicken bones or shrimp shells.
Every restaurant — and perhaps every home — should have a “kitchen soup” recipe that allows lots of flexibility, creativity and, of course, bold flavors. So skip the preservative-filled bouillon or canned stock and make a simple from-scratch soup like ours.

Notes & Variations
- To make this soup without meat, braise 2 to 3 cups of mushrooms in olive oil instead and add 3 quarts of water and follow the rest of the process.
- If using noodles, cut them into smaller pieces before cooking if, like me, you do not like eating your soup with a fork and spoon.
- If using tomato purée, use 1/2 cup only. The tomatoes add acidity flavor balance, but the soup consistency should be brothy.
- To make this more heartier, finish the soup with 2 cups of coconut milk.
- Aromatics such as whole cinnamon sticks or fresh herbs are best added at the end of cooking to capture their aroma at its peak.
