Vent: My brother said my 'budget soup' was just salty water
He was right, I was skipping the step of browning the onion and garlic first. Now I always do that, even if I'm just using a bouillon cube and some old carrots. What's a small step you added that made a big difference?

Yeah browning the onion is key, but honestly you gotta add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice at the end too. It's not just about salt, it needs that little bit of acid to wake everything up. Makes a huge difference even with the simplest broth.

Oh man, that splash of vinegar tip is SO real. I started doing that with my cheap bean soups and it was a total game changer. Like the whole pot just comes alive.
