Chicken Soup - It's Time

Someone's gotta drink a little for testing... and to make sure it's fit for human consumption.

It's just a little to thin... but I know how to fix that. Instead of boiling it down, a couple handfuls of okra will fix it right up. Of course orka fixes just about anything

It's just about ready for the pressure canner.

But I'll save a little for supper tonight and make some dumplings to go along with it.

Right time of year for it! It will taste wonderful on the first snow day and every snow day after that. When I get the chicken, stock and fat preserved this year, then I know I'm finally ready for winter.

Well I'm babysitting the pressure canner - I've done this many times..kind of boring but hey it has to be done...

Here is what's left of burbon red turkey tom soup from last year. My wife had to hide 5 jars from the kids - it's so good.

We made a chicken soup last night as well. I did the usual suspects- chicken, carrots, celery, onion... then I added some green chilies and Tony Chachere's for seasoning, and some of my low carb macaroni at the end. It was wonderful!

Oh that looks REALLY good!


I use the big crockpot for cooking down the carcass, but it's pretty much the same thing. Chicken isn't really my favorite meat and I don't raise meat birds. I do process extra silkie boys, and soup fixings is the best use for them.

All you need now is some fresh home baked bread or rolls to go with that soup Well done you, it looks fantastic!
