ReplyDeleteI like your recipe and will have to try it. I make my own stock from leftover carcasses that I freeze from baking chickens and your recipe sounds like it would make a huge batch of soup for a crowd. Just curious, what is the lemon juice for? Is is for flavor, or does it serve some other purpose?
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteThe lemon juice is for flavor, although it doesn't have a lemony taste. It just gives it a little something extra. I make soup out of chicken carcasses as well, but this is quick and easy if you don't have any leftovers on hand. It's very economical too!
You could certainly use your own stock in place of the Tone's chicken base. The Tone's has a much better flavor than bouillon cubes that so many people use.
