Help with chicken stock/soup please.

wendy+5

I put a chicken carcass in the SC with carrot, leek, celery and some potato. I think I've added too much water as it's really thin. Is there a way I can thicken it up? I don't like thin soup!

Thanks.

Hi Wendy,

You can let the soup simmer for a while longer and the liquid will reduce down and / or add in some peeled chopped potato and once it's cooked mash it into the soup. If you don't have time to do that you could add a little cornflour mixed in cold water and stirred well into the soup to thicken it.

There are more ideas on this thread:

Please help me thicken my soup!

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

Another good one is to add some instant mash mix

I always scoop out a couple of ladles full and blend then mix back in with the rest to thicken
