It must be in the air. I bought a bag of 15 bean soup beans yesterday and smoking off some ham today to put in the pot.
We keep homemade chicken broth and homemade pork broth handy to make a quick soup of whatever is in the fridge.
Homemade Broth
Take leftover roast chicken or bone-in pork roast (or both). Can also use leftover bone-in beef roast.
Put in dutch oven and add water to cover.
Add ginger and salt to taste.
Simmer until all of the meat comes away from the bones easily, ~2 hours. Pick the meat and pitch the gristle and bones.
Cool then freeze or can.
All you have to do is put the broth in a pot, simmer with leftover veg and meat. Can add beans too and whatever else you think will make it taste good. Serve with biscuits, salad, and or breads. Warm the breads and spread fresh creamery butter on it with honey.
