Makes me think of how it would benefit some dark rouxs and when 
to add them!

Subject: [CH] dark soup stocks



In the last several weeks I've been experimenting a bit with the 
soup stocks
I make, adding some dried peppers to the stock vegetables.

The results, of course, vary with the type of pod but it's 
interesting to
see how some of the larger and darker choices - like ancho - can 
turn the
liquid a deep brownish red.  I'm not used to seeing stock that 
dark in
something like a white bean soup, but it's a killer secret 
ingredient in a
batch of pinto beans.
