Notes
Gentle Simmering - allow the soup to simmer gently over low to medium heat. Avoid boiling the soup vigorously, as this can cause the broth to become cloudy and the meat to toughen.Skimming the Surface - as the soup simmers, skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface. This helps clarify the broth and ensures a clean, clear soup.Adjusting Seasoning - taste the soup as it cooks and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices.
