Hello Happy Homebuddies
It's soup weather here in NE Ohio.
I have in the past purchased soup stock/broth. I didn't really like doing so because of cost. The other is salt added & other additives although you can find some with no salt, they don't put the salt in, and it increases the cost of the product.
Over the last year I have been saving vegetable scraps of all kinds, carrots, onion, cabbage, celery all the usual things most of us have on hand. These get together in a zip lock bag and put in the freezer until I want to make broth, which is usually when the bag is full.
Beef broth? save those bones they make excellent broth. In addition to not finding stewing hens in the "regular" grocery store, in my area & boneless everything. Sometimes you can "buy" bones. This is where a local butcher comes in.
Chicken & beef bones make excellent soup/broth, no salt no preservatives.
There is still much flavor, and nutrients from using these, what most people throw out, use it to your advantage, save money, get more nutrients.
Who among you has a soup toureen?
I do have one, I didn't want to go and blow the dust off it, but it looks like this. Picked it up at a consignment store. I always forget I have it. Maybe I'll bust it out when we have our Chicken soup this week.
Back in the day even soup was made to be enjoyed with a pretty tureen.
~Be of good cheer~

I save our leftover turkey and bone-in ham from the holidays and make soups. Turkey noodle, ham and bean are two of our favorites. It is a shame we can't get soup chickens any longer. You found a nice soup tureen. I do not have one of those.
Oh yes Jeanna, those are two also very good items to make broth with, soup is comforting and filling, and nutrient dense if made homemade.
I always save bones. Harvey sometimes wonders what I am going to do with them all. Love making my own broth and stock.
Must remember the next time I make soup to pull our lovely tureen out.
God bless.
Somewhere I still have a rather dainty blue and white soup tureen that I never used for soup. Too small.
it sounds lovely for a cup a soup...blue & white and dainty why not?
I swear I had a soup tureen very similar to that one! I love making soup and have a few good go to recipes.
