If you really want to learn how to cook, then you need to practice the concepts taught in this lesson. We've compiled some "edible exercises" along with some supporting recipes that will help reinforce what was taught in this lesson.
To practice making a stock-based clear soup, try making the Minestrone Soup (recipe below). For the best, flavor, make sure to use a quality, homemade chicken or vegetable stock.
