Sounds very good.

My favorite cold weather soup starts with chicken and beef stock. Makes a hearty broth. Discovered it by accident long time ago when I was snowed in. One of those darn it moments when one discovers that neither of the stock amts was enough for four.

But hey, that’s part of the fun.

I tend to use more celery minced fine adding a bit more muscle to the broth. Otherwise I have no use for celery.

Chicken or beef gets cubed soup size, browned in butter, toss everything from the pan to the pot.

Add onions, carrots, a bit of garlic to taste.
Spinach is good if available. And then canned butter beans un-drained. Just a change up from navy beans.

Might add some other odds and ends as befits a winter cabin soup.

Fresh biscuits or corn bread.

Making tasty soups is always fun, every batch turns out slightly different.

Sounds wonderful, Cov. I got lazy and bought a nice French bread to dip in the soup. Tomorrow, maybe I’ll turn them into croutons.
