How We Make Our Soups

At Kara's Korner, we’re passionate about creating soups that are rich in flavor and made with care. Our team spends up to 18 hours slow-simmering broths in Staub cast-iron pots, ensuring each batch is packed with deep flavors and nutrients. This process sets the stage for our focus on using top-quality ingredients.

Ingredients We Use

We work closely with local farms to source fresh, high-quality ingredients. For example, Smith Family Farms in Ohio supplies our onions and carrots, while Green Valley Dairy in Wisconsin provides premium cream. We prioritize clean, non-GMO vegetables, antibiotic-free poultry, and produce with minimal pesticide use.

To ensure every soup meets our standards, we hold weekly taste panels with chefs and local volunteers. Even small details matter - like adjusting our corn chowder recipe to use 15% less thyme during summer when Illinois corn is naturally sweeter. This attention to detail reflects our dedication to flavor and tradition.

Family Recipe Collection

Our soups are rooted in family traditions, preserving the flavors our community loves. One standout is our Hungarian Mushroom Soup, a recipe passed down from Kara's great-grandmother in 1932. We’ve modernized it by using slow-cookers instead of the original 6-hour simmer, without compromising its rich, traditional taste.

Recipe Name	Origin	Special Technique
Hungarian Mushroom	1932 Family Recipe	Slow-cooker adaptation
Traditional Borscht	Ukrainian Heritage	48-hour kvass fermentation
Chicken Noodle	Family Collection	Parmesan rind finish

Our Chicken Noodle Soup includes a unique twist - a Parmesan rind added during the final hour of cooking. This step enhances its savory depth and has reduced requests for extra salt by 30%.

For our Ukrainian-inspired Borscht, we use a traditional 48-hour kvass fermentation, giving it a tangy, distinctive flavor that’s become a customer favorite.

To ensure every bowl meets our high standards, our chefs complete a rigorous 21-day "Soup Mastery" program. They must pass blind taste tests, achieving 90% accuracy in replicating our recipes, with precise seasoning measured by calibrated scales. This commitment to consistency ensures every soup we serve is as good as the last.
