Things you learned the hard way

Finally, after three tries of soup making and only now getting one that's good, I thought it might be fun to share things we've learned the hard way.

Some of mine:

Bags of frozen mixed vegetables are not precooked. If you dump these in your soup at the end to allow them to thaw, you will have very crunchy soup.

You cannot freeze soup with pasta in it. It will all be mush when you thaw it.

I have to say, though, learning it the hard way has ensured I will never forget it!
