Adapted from Splendid Soups by James PetersonOkay, first things first: all great soup must start out with a great stock or broth. This is my favorite stock recipe. I find it's best to make a big batch of stock on the weekend, then freeze it in small quantities for later. I freeze some in ice cube trays for when I make rice, and freeze the rest in quart containers. If you don't have room to freeze all this, you can refrigerate the broth for 5 days without it spoiling. To keep it longer, just bring it to a simmer on top of the stove for 10 minutes, let it cool, then refrigerate it for up to another 5 days. You can repeat this process indefinitely.
**By the way, there is a difference between stock and broth. Basically, stocks are made with the more "inedible" parts of the animal, like the bones. This releases a high concentration of gelatin into the stock, which means that if you've made it right, it should turn into a meat jell-o in your fridge. Sounds gross, but that means you have made one tasty stock!! The author of my stock recipe refers to it as broth, but according to most definitions, it's actually a stock, so that's what I call it!
