It’s been so, so good. At about midnight I’ll throw all the bones in a pot of water with some salt and pepper and put it on low, and add a bunch of water in the morning. Then before lunch or dinner I’ll dump the broth through a strainer into a bowl, put it back in the pot, and chop up some onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes and throw them in in there with some spices.
Today I threw a handful of rice in there. I cook it for about another half hour.
If there’s any leftover chicken I’ll cut that up and put it in 5 minutes before it’s done, otherwise it’s just chicken vegetable which is still bomb. I often put a little butter in there too.
It’s so good. I had a longstanding brainworm telling me I don’t really like soup, but that’s because people eat WAY more canned soup than homemade soup. It’s so so good.
Soup is an elite food if you make it yourself and not worth it whatsoever if purchased. I spent seven hours making french onion soup once and I’ve been riding that high for 3 months.
I wish there was some way to collect beef bones that made sense. The only way I can ever think of is to eat a ton of Ribeyes and save the rib bones… Which feels absurd. I try to treat meat, especially beef, as a rare treat. Everywhere I’ve looked knuckles and whatnot are really not cheap, too.
