Almost Free Chicken Soup
We are both down with the Texas Crud. Sore throat, dry cough and
hoarseness. Time for some genuine Jewish Mother chicken soup.
I went into the freezer and found the following:
2 chicken rib cage bones halves that I froze a few months ago when whole
chicken breasts were on sale. After deboning the chicken, I saved the
ribs for soup and the skin to render when I make chicken fat in separate
packages.
2 chicken necks and gizzards from when I made beer can chickens and used
whole chickens
1 package of 8 chicken wing tips which I always save when I disjoint
chicken wings bought on sale for freezing.
1 skinless-boneless chicken breast half.
After adding the usual carrots, celery (with leaves) onions, dill,
parsley and for lack of a parsnip or turnip, a quarter of a green pepper
(an old trick my late Mom taught me).
Never throw anything useful away!
We have about 7 quarts of awesome broth and we can now proceed to get well.
