I made some bone soup today. It was really good, I dare say.  It’s my first time making it.

Who’s bones? What’s  bone soup?   Well… I guess you can also call it chicken soup made from scartch.  I think bone soup sounds better.

Want the recipe… am not a scrooge:

• Basically, I’ve been collecting bones from previous chicken meals and storing them in the freezer.
• I got a big pot and I dumped the frozen bones in there with lots of water.
• I added chicken sauce, left overs from previous meals.
• Added spices, clove, bay leaves salt and the like.
• Diced potatoes.
• Let the potion boil for about an hour.
• Add frozen veggies and noodles.
• Boil a little more.

Done

Where did  I get the idea for bone soup? I’ve been seeing a nutritionist (for the pregnancy), she strongly suggested that I start eating bones. Any bones, chicken, pork, beef , even fish.  That’s where the good stuff is.  Great source  of calcium and omega 3. Then I remembered how my mom use to eat the bones when I was little.

Also Steve (the wise man in the family) once told me about the Neanderthal man.   They didn’t have the physical strength of other animals but they had the smarts.  Apparently they got the smarts from eating the bones. They weren’t strong enough to kill, and not fast enough to get to the left over flesh before the vultures.  So they got the bones.  Good for them.

I’m making bone soup my new staple.
