Ready Parenting tip of the day #4: Keep an eye on the soup

If you are like me, very busy at home. You are a multitasker. However, you have to be very careful to avoid burning the soup, like I did this morning.

When you make soup, you generally wait till it boils and then simmer it. I started to do something else out of the kitchen: tidy up, put baby in bed for a nap, etc.

The soup boiled for about an hour. When I realised I had to check on the soup, it was almost all gone! Fortunately this time I made a huge pot, so it didn't burn, but it was almost all gone. I had to replenish the water and made it boil again. Don't do this if it burns!

The tip is: put the timer: to be on the safe side I put 10 minutes to boil, so then I would reduce the temperature to simmer it. So keep an eye on the soup!
