Chicken Soup From the Soul

My beautiful Mom!
Since we have been "processing" roosters lately, I have taken the opportunity to freeze as much chicken broth as possible.  My mother was an awesome cook and understood the importance of using "homemade" broth.  She always had a quart or two in the freezer.  For whatever reason, I always felt intimidated about attempting to make "my own" broth.  As an adult, I reluctantly continued to buy it from the store, always choosing the organic, free-range, but it never, ever measured up to Mom's broth.   You are no doubt asking, "Why didn't you just have your Mom show you?"   Well, I was younger and never had an overwhelming desire to know how.  Plus, I was one of those naive people who never thought my Mother would never be there to do it for me!  Of course, I have grown up ALOT in the past 10 years...my dear Mom had a stroke and is unable to help me.  But she did teach me how to be an independent thinker and get things done!  So here I am, not just brilliantly making chicken broth, even my Mom would be proud of, but I raised and butchered the chickens too!  I must admit, I get a huge swell of pride every time I open my freezer and see all those bags of "liquid gold"!  

I was at the grain store the other day, chatting with the sweet, lady who owns it, about food, and she mentioned that she has never made homemade chicken soup before.  I was stunned, because there are some people you just assume know everything about everything.  I assumed she was one of them!  I thought, if she doesn't know, maybe I should pass on to eveyone else who is missing out, like I was, what is truly a VERY easy thing to do! (As my Mom always said to me!)  So if you are interested, click on the Cooking Page and discover the world of Awesome Chicken Broth & Soup!

I love homemade soup. It's intersting, on FoodNetwork, I see 'em using store-bought broth all the time, but I've yet to find one that I even sorta like. If you don't like the taste of it going in, difficult to doctor it up.

So your mother is still alive, but physically limited? I lost my Mama/bestfriend in 1992, still terribly miss her.
