Easy and delicious broth. I hate that store bought broth has so much sodium and really not much flavor. I made extra to store in the freezer. Thanks for posting. -
This made a very good red lentil soup, thank you! -
This was very easy, and tasted DELICIOUS in some chicken noodle soup! I used split breasts so I had a bunch of meat leftover and it was wonderful. The house smelled amazing all day!!! Making more soon to freeze for the winter and more soup. -
This recipe makes a very tasty broth and it was very easy to put together. I used about two cups of the finished product to make chicken rice soup for lunch and froze the rest. Thanks for posting.
