Binding to Laravel IoC instead of instantiating again and again

In my app I have a service called "LogService" to log events and other items. I basically need to use this on every controller to log events by users. Instead of having to instantiate this service in each controller, I had two thoughts for accomplishing this.

Option 1: Bind the service into the IoC and then resolve it that way

Option 2: Make a master class with the service in it and then extend it for other classes so they come with the service already bound

I have questions for each of these methods:

Option 1: Is this even possible? If so, would it just be with "App::make()" that it would be called? That way doesn't seem to play too well with IDE's

Option 2: I have done this kind of thing in the past but PHPStorm does not seem to recognize the service from the parent object because it is instantiated by "App::make()" and not through the regular dependency injection.

What would be the best course of action?

Thanks!
