OK Safe where have you been hiding~~that sounds amazing! Never thought about using the crock. OK, do you put in chicken broth at all?

Whenever I prep onions, peppers and celery (and other vegetables as well) for sauteing, I put the end pieces in a bag in the freezer. When the bag is full, it's time to make soup. I boil and simmer these vegetables first as a base for my stock. I toss them when I'm done. Then I'll make whatever soup, chicken, turkey or beef. I'll boil the carcass in the vegetable stock. The broth ends up being very flavorful.

All the above!

I'll use or make chicken broth for the soup too - but it doesn't need to be.

Mesue - we do the same thing - ham bones, chicken or turkey carcasses - they all make great soup stock.

On a side note - there's been a crock pot of Manhattan Clam Chowder on since last night that is really smelling good right now....is it lunch time yet???

Well, I got my fixin's to make my soup. I did the item list you mentioned, however I will add string beans, zucchini, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes to the pot. I'm making that for Thursday's dinner...thanx safe.

soup is on and it is awesome. I chose not to use chicken stock. I added chili powder and crushed red peppers. Bam.....it is really good.

Let's see some Montepuciano and french bread and we are all set. Oh topped with fresh parm.

Nice mesue, very orderly and that I am NOT. I am a quickie and that is how I do my dinners.

Now my mom and grandmother (God rest her soul) did just what you stated.
