This is good to use instead of water. Gives the food a good homemade taste.


For me use whole chicken (if I'm doing some good soup) and double boil for at least 4 hours.

I would leave out the celery since my husband is allergic to it and might leave the seasonings out to add them later, depending on what I am making.
