Soup boosters

Who doesn't love eating soup. It's a great meal not only for lunch but for dinner as well. It's easy to make, a one pot meal fast. You can throw just about anything your heart desires into making a good soup. In the end you get a meal that warms you up and makes you feel cozy. But soup can always get a boost with some of these ideas.
If your soup is a little boring you can fix it up in a jiffy. Salt, or fat, as well as a acid will help. These ingredients work great for savory soups that need just a little help.
Miso paste will give your soup the taste of toasted grains. Miso will not only enhance the flavor of your soup, it will help to thicken it.
Lemon and Olive oil is another soup booster. It is a classic combo that will fix just about any soup. If you are making a Asian, or Mexican soup, lemon and olive oil work wonderful in these. Lime will also work in a Mexican soup.
Yogurt is the acidic and fatty flavor booster for soup. It is tangy and rich in flavor. This flavor booster works great for chili or bean soup. Putting a scoop of yogurt into your soup will help make it a hearty meal.
