How to Make Soup (for those who don't know! :-) )

[TygrBright]

2. We have, alas, given up on soup...

Because ALL the instructions demand either "home made" stock (we never roast chickens, meat with bones in it, etc., we just don't...) or require you to "ask your butcher" for their stock, which the Co-op meat department doesn't do.

If someone ever comes up with a way to make great soup using Costco's Organic Chicken Stock (which we have on hand for OTHER cooking purposes that don't require the high level of Perfection In Flavoring and Purity In Ingredients that soup apparently demands) point me to it.

Caveat/admission/whatever: I do actually occasionally make a totally debased, incorrect, inferior product I *call* soup, using the boxed Costco stock, leftover boneless chicken breast, veggies, and some kind of noodles or rice thrown in just before serving. I'd never call it "soup" though.

Because, yanno... boxed inferior pseudo-stock.

wearily,
