This is probably a large part of your problem - if you're looking for better-than-panera quality anyways.

Making real soup without real stock, it's just pointless....

Knorr cubes are excellent seasoning - but they're just seasoning. You wouldn't put just salt into water and call it a soup, so don't do it with knorr cubes! :)

Agreed, but seems like it would be wise to do things gradually with his new padawan. Show him that a soup people will pay money for is easy to make and suddenly he MIGHT feel the urge to do a 10 gallon soup stock on a sunday just for kicks and freeze it down into single batch portions.

yeah, definitely. not advocating someone who can't even look up a recipe suddenly start making their own chicken stock. (though of course it'd be ideal) but there are commercial broth/stock products that are at least a little better than knorrs, nutritionally and body wise...

Absolutely. Additionally, to me, the lip smacking deliciousness of a bone boiled stock is key to a great soup. For the sake of a business, however, I'd make it gluten free, vegetarian safe and maybe even vegan safe. Are there any great choices that fall into the latter category?
