Tastes and flavor- Soup Chi
I have this soup chi mix that makes all soups taste better
kind of like umami- the soup chi I mean
it's a top secret mix of coriander seeds, mustard seeds, dill seeds, allspice, pepper flakes, star anise (optional- for a more asian profile). I also add a couple of bay leaves. If you don't have all these spices bulk, you can buy a commercially available mix called Zatarain crab boil
huh it's important to get the right spices and herbs for the correct taste. But remember to vary when you use the chi otherwise everything just kind of tastes the same.
