Home made chicken vegetable soup!
Just the thought probably makes your mouth water, but "home made" and "Linda's home made" are probably far, far apart!
I like the rotisserie chickens you get at Costco - at $4.99 the price is always right!
But after I've eaten a certain amount I'm a bit tired of it. Some people debone and make chicken salad, but any amount that I made, I would toss some of it out... so I don't bother.
I just toss the carcasses into the freezer til I want them. Yesterday was a good time to bring out two for chicken soup, frost and all!
Into my crock pot they went, along with 4 cups of chicken broth, on the high setting.
An hour later, I deboned (and de-skinned) them - had a pretty good amount of meat to work with!
Tossed in some Bird's Eye frozen veggies, water and other secret ingredients.
Added a bit too much water though; thicker would have been better!
After slow cooking for a time, it wasn't too too bad!
I give it a "B"
"A" means I'd gladly serve it to company
"B" means it's sorta okay, needs pepping up a bit but I'll eat it!
"C" means I've had better but I'll eat rather than toss it out and waste food!
So - chicken vegetable soup with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich - not a bad lunch!
Have a great day, sew forth and sew on til later!
I like to make soup this way - chicken or a turkey carcus and even a ham bone. On high for 4 hours and it all just falls off the bones with little clean up.
ReplyDeleteI make this soup and use egg noodles to thicken it up and serve with a dollop of sour cream
