Easy Easy Easy. I love it. I have made this a few different ways. I tried different herbs (rosemary/thyme) because my family doesn't like basil much. I also found this is a great way to extract every ounce of flavor from a chicken or turkey carcass. This also works well with beef bones. YUM! I take the bones and whatever left over meat there is and roast it. Then, I toss it all in the crock pot with the veggies and seasoning and walk away. The flavor and richness of the stock is much better than a canned or boxed version and less salt! I freeze the rest after I skim the fat. It is such a time saver to pull bags of stock from the freezer to add that "home cooked" deep flavor to a dish.

My Mom loves soup and wanted me to make this for her so she could freeze it for easy use. The recipe makes A LOT of soup. I am not a "soup person" but I liked it. I didn't use bell peppers but I did cut up squash and green beans then tossed frozen peas and corn in after it was almost done. I also used V8 juice instead of tomato juice.

WOW! These are great. The recipe does make enough for an army though. I freezed the extra. Everyone in my house loved these. This is going to be my GO TO pancake recipe for now on. The pancackes were light and fluffy. They had a sweet buttery taste. We barely used syrup because their great flavor. Next month I am going to try and add banana or blueberry to the recipe. I hope we will have eaten all the extra by then. =p
