Cooking stock from scratch with all natural ingredients is the best flavor booster you can use. A good stock requires hours of simmering vegetables, bones, herbs and seasonings. Frequent tasting and adjusting ingredients to get that perfect flavor for your homemade soups, stews, gravies and more.
What if I told you that Progresso took the time and guesswork out of making delicious cooking stock while keeping it “real”?
Progresso cooking stock in chicken, unsalted chicken and vegetable varieties brings the best, richest bone broth and vegetables together to make a natural flavor enhancer.
I gave Progresso Vegetable Cooking Stock a try.
No artificial ingredients here:
I wanted to give my pierogies a facelift. Traditional white potato and cheese are good but I had a different take in mind.
I love mashed sweet potatoes but their flavor can be one dimensional. If I wanted to put them in dough as pierogies I needed to up my game.
That’s where Progresso Cooking Stock came in to play.
I started by cooking the sweets and veggies in Progresso Vegetable Cooking Stock.
Using Progresso Vegetable Cooking Stock as the base for the sauce really brought out the flavor!
These Sweet Potato Pierogies make a great side dish for any meal. Chocked full of vegetables in a delicate dough with a smooth vegetable sauce.
Blanch and freeze them for a quick alternative to pasta, rice or potatoes. Keep a carton of Progresso Cooking Stock handy to make this sauce or try a new version!
