What I did was this:
I baked some chicken thighs and my dd and I ate them for dinner and lunch over a few days. I and my dd saved the bones in a baggie. Basically, I was experimenting with the "waste" from meals. (The tops one cuts off from celery sticks, the top from the carrots when one cuts carrots down to sticks, the root end of the onion, the bones from chicken...). I put all these leftovers in a pot, covered with water, added a bit of sea salt, and put a lid on the pot and cooked the stock for around 2-3 hours. I strained out the veggies and bones, (which I gave to my dogs, sans bones but left the cartilage), and put the stock in cup size containers and froze it for future use. I am so excited you all were able to give me some ideas... I love the thick, creamy soups and plan on making some beef stock today in the same fashion as the chicken stock. I have some short ribs in the fridge just calling to become stock! Any ideas for beef stock
Oh, and I forgot my thanks to all of you for your suggestions... I will definitely try them!
