Off Topic Homemade broth

How would you do it?
I got the broth mix in on an overnight soak.
Tomorrow prepare some leek, onion, carrot, bacon, cabbage & turnip.
Add all that to the pan with a chicken stock cube, salt & pepper and maybe some white wine.

 

When we have it I roast a gammon joint and cut into chunks then add to the stock and vegetables (we also have celery - but not onion or cabbage cos I don't like the slimy taste). Boiled potato, cut into chunks, and of course the dumplings. However I imagine everyone has there own different tastes. Enjoy your broth.

 

It's a bit like an English breakfast - you can put in what you want.

 

Exactly - and just as tasty.

 

Buy 3 chickens for a tenner, fillet them and you've got ,6 drumsticks, 6 thighs, 6 breasts and 6 sets of "strips", (each breast has some half attached meat that forms the strips, stir fries etc.,). Dump the rest in a pressure cooker for 30 mins and you've got your stock. Leave to cool then remove the bones and skin, keep the meat in the soup, add your chosen pulses an cook for a further 30 mins. Leave overnight. Sweat your choice of chopped veggies, and add to the pressure cooker, cook for another 20 mins. Put the breasts drumsticks and thighs in the freezer for later.

 

I do a knockle end, boiled with the pulses allow to cool, strip the bacon and discard any fat, I use any/all root veg cut into small cubes plus an onion and leeks.

Boil and allow to cool, best left overnight, we always add a pint& half of chicken stock, then heat enough for a meal and then when you have the rest later add dumplings, yummy. HP sauce is a must on the dumplings.

 

I am impressed we have so many gourmet broth chefs. Keep with it before somebody renames it boullion or some such.

 

My old dear always puts split peas and barley in her broth, they are soaked overnight.
Carrots, tatties and onions with some other secret ingredients.
Always made with a gammon joint.
When its finished you can literally stand your spoon in it.
Got to be eaten with a stottie as well..yum yum.

 

Stop making Broth mate, it's playing havoc with your piles.

 

This is the right thread, I think, but you lads (and Fenton) have made me hungry . . . . not for these, though

 

Much the same
Out lass makes lush broth
We now have a soup maker and she makes all kinds of lush soup

 

No tattles it makes it go off quick

 

Our lass like dumplings added next day

 

Yeh our broth is always made in the pressure cooker

 

Broth... ffs.

It's like I've wandered into an afternoon meeting with housewives in the 70's.

 

Very nutritious & wholesome food Terence.

 

I don't doubt that Maam.

 

Is broth too posh for you Mancs then Tel. Northern men are modern men haven't you heard.

 

Way too posh mate, I only eat what I can find in next door's compost bin.

Last night I had half a Bakewell tart with gravy and a tea bag.

 

doesn't last long enough to go off mate.
