  1. This was delicious, although I did make a few modifications. First, I wanted to keep the veggies in the soup, so I chopped them up to cook while making the stock. Then, instead of straining the broth, I just skimmed the extra fat off the top. This wasn't too difficult, because I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs I had in the freezer - so there wasn't much to skim! I added a little instant broth powder to the soup as well, to make up for it being a little low on flavour due to bonelessness. I made a huge pot of soup and I'm glad I did - now I've got leftovers to pack for lunches, as well as a big tub to put in the freezer for another time!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Michigan. I work as an accountant and software engineer. My favorite cookbook is Betty Crockers New Cookbook and an old one by Hallmark called holiday cooking. I love to eat as much as I love to cook. However, I have become decidely a better nutritional cook than before. I don't just cook to eat. I cook to eat delicious "healthy" meals. I am also an exercise addict, to help combat when I do eat a dish full of cream and cheese. Well not the cheese because I am alergic to that as well as the cream! So I take a lot of great recipes on Zaar and doctor them up to meet my healthy standard. One of these days I should make them public, but... thats a lot of work.
