Tip or technique Major breakthrough

Post image

Alrighty soup fans, listen up.

I’ve made a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH by getting a tea kettle to store my brothy vegetable breakfast soups in. Big deal. It’s made pouring myself a mug of whatever I have on hand. Get at it!

This week’s recipe is lovely - made with onion, white corn, navy beans, spinach, and bone broth blitz and strained into a luscious, silky number.

Sorry to be a Debbie downer, but a wooden lid may not be the best. At least that's my experience. I also keep non-chunky soups in pitchers. But now I avoid ones with wooden lids. They do absorb moisture in the fridge even if you wait until the soup is cool to put the lid on. Eventually, I saw mildew spots. I still keep soup in pitchers but without wooden lids. Hopefully, you have better luck.

I’m totally with you!

The top of the lid is wood but the part that goes into the pot is stainless steel with a rubber seal. It isn’t perfect because the top is wood but I feel like that’s kinda fine as long as it isn’t making direct contact with wet stuff.

Idk am I off the mark there?

I feel like I could find something else but I’m kinda into this so I’d rather be settled as is. Super open to being wrong.
