The season of snow and breezy vibes just kicked in with lowering the temperature. What could be better than a soupy warm and healthy nutrient stock? A stock can be defined as the liquid formed by the extraction of flavour, salt from bones, nutrients, vegetables and aromatic herbs during cooking. The two main types of stock are white and brown stocks. The name of the stock is determined by the type of bone used in its making, e.g. brown beef stock is made from beef bones that have been coloured in the oven. Here are different types of stock recipes to try this winter season to stay warm and healthy.
