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.
you should try sauteeing your mirepoix before putting it in the soup, very good.
I was thinkin about that - I will next time! I always sautee chili vegetables way longer than recipes say and it’s really good
Set aside a cup of broth and mix in a spoon of corn starch to thicken, then recombine with the stock once you’ve added a whisked egg dropwise.
Bit of soy, bit of mirin, maybe some coriander for colour. Boom, egg drop soup
I always make stock/broth out of it, freeze it, then use it for other dishes later such as won ton soup or ramen with a nice marinated pulled pork roast and bok choy :chefs-kiss:
