Simmering...



Homemade Chicken Stock for many nights of beautiful soup.
I love the bright splash of green and orange veggie scraps in my pot.
Green is my favorite color.

Beautiful soup, so rich and green
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
Beautiful soup! Who cares for fish
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth of beautiful soup?
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I was thinking about making some soup tonight myself. although, I don't think it will photograph as prettily as yours.

Mmmm...I love to do that and have it simmer all afternoon! It seems so homey. :)

I made broth today too! Ha! Had been a while. Very satisfying to make a gallon or so and just have it around to use...I did not realize how much nutritional value it can have.

Smelled so good too...

I just finished packaging and freezing my chicken stock before I hopped online! Yours is very very pretty, though, and sweet partnered with Carroll's poem.

Soon I hope to do a post on making beef stock and (fingers crossed) making noodles.
