Making your own stock isn't worth the effort most of the time, but when you do make stock, and it's not intended to be a clear stock, add like a dash of soy sauce

great tip, and I should point out that one of the rare times it's worth it is if you just had a whole chicken a day or two ago. My rotisserie chicken is always followed by bomb-ass soup

Also if you "don't like soup" remember that you might have almost never had it not from a can. Real soup is completely satisfying on its own as a dinner
