I just made another batch overnight as had almost used all my freezer supply: (I do a triple batch of the recipe below in my HUGE stock pot and simmer it overnight for 12-18 hours) Chicken Stock 8 cups (2L) Water (top up if needed while simmering) 2 Tbsp white or apple cider vinegar (to help draw minerals out from the bones) 1.5kg chicken frames (can also include bones and skin from cooked chicken wings/drumsticks/marylands, andif you can include some chicken feet you will get a higher Gelatin content) Optional a Bacon Bone - I find this really adds savoury flavour 1 brown onion – roughly chopped, including brown skins if no black mould 1 stick celery – roughly chopped 1 carrot – roughly chopped 3 cloves chopped / crushed fresh garlic 6 black peppercorns 3 sage leaves a handful of fresh parsley (&stalks) 2 sprigs fresh thyme 1 sprig of rosemary 1-2 large bay leaves (Don’t add any salt while making it, just add salt to taste when using it!) Bring to the boil and then leave at a low simmer for 10-18 hours in a large saucepan or crock pot Strain through muslin cloth or sieve and discard solids. Refrigerate until fully chilled and fats solidify on top. Remove all fats (and either discard or save for frying other stuff) Split into a few portions and freeze some for later (keeps for 1-2 weeks in fridge). 7 jade3349, teddynola, cammarays and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kay07 734 Posted May 18, 2018 I have a few different homemade Soups, I honestly think its more along the line of wanting to chew something. Not even sure about that because I have no hunger and no motivation to eat. So weird! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YeahOkay31 651 Posted May 18, 2018 I understand the chewing thing--that was exactly what I kept telling my husband "I just want to chew something!!!" I actually chewed some stuff and spit it out - kinda helped. I am still on two Protein Shakes a day plus 3 oz of soft Protein. Every time I have to drink another shake at this point I get nauseous just looking at it. And I have until June 4 until I am cleared for more solids -- yuck!

Kay07 734 Posted May 18, 2018 Sooooooo my nut just told me to try soft things, like scrambled eggs.... I kind of feel like Christmas came early but also am afraid it’s much too soon! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
