HoldTheToast Press Fighting the Low Fat Lie since 1996: "Grandma's Chicken Soup
Submitted by Dana on Fri, 2010-02-19 18:16. Long-time readers know that I keep all my chicken bones in a plastic grocery sack in the freezer till I have a potful, and then make chicken broth. It's super-simple: Just dump the bones -- they can be picked absolutely naked, that's fine -- in a stock pot. Cover with water, add a teaspoon or two of salt (no more; it concentrates as the broth boils down) and about 1/4 cup of any kind of vinegar (this helps draw calcium out of the bones, so you get a high-calcium broth.) Put it over low heat and let it simmer till at least a quarter, maybe a third of the water's cooked down."
