Scozz, you are so right. I do miss the giblets. Do you suppose they end up in the minced chicken mush that is turned into all sorts of things these days, still for human consumption? |

The gravy we had with the Christmas turkey was made with real stock. It bugs me that we don't get the bag of giblets any more. Our turkey had the neck stuffed inside it, which I didn't know about until it was defrosted. The turkey neck was added to a potful of chicken necks for the stock. |

Home made soup does taste better than shop bought, but is it cost efficient? |

OH bought me a cookery book from 'Terre a Terre' which is a well known veggie restaurant in Brighton - he had a trip there a few weeks ago. It looks fabulous, some things are a work of art, however most can be broken down into simple steps. The base of their soups and purees etc. is a white vegetable stock and I am going to have a go at this, as I often resort to the stock cube too. So much nicer with real, homemade stock :-) |

I love making my own soups. I experiment with all sorts of ingredients this week will be leek based but not sure what else I shall put in with it yet. It helps me with my weight loss as I can snack on that anytime of day and this weather it is very comforting when I come in cold. |

I never used to make soup from scratch unless I had a chicken carcass remaining from the Sunday roast. |
