Pat, that sounds yummy!! I'll bet it was very good and healthy also!!

Now I am hungry. Why do I come to this forum on an empty stomach?? It is like going to the grocery store when you have not eaten.

Smiles and hugs,

Hello My Friends,

That's what I like about this Community. I stay away for a day, and when I get back, three of my Favorite Friends have stopped by for a visit. Hi Pat and Sara and Myrna. It's always so good to see you all here at the Forum. If I'm making everyone hungry, then I must be doing something right!

Pat, the Lentil Soup sounds absolutely delicious. On these cool Fall evenings, warming up to a good bowl of soup and some homemade cornbread sounds just perfect! The only thing I could think to add to the mix was some homemade Chicken Broth, and because it's done in the slow cooker, you don't need to fuss with it. This is the recipe I use to make chicken broth for use in other recipes. I like to use breasts and wings, but any bone in pieces will make a nice broth.

Chicken Broth in a Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken pieces
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

Directions

  1. Place the chicken pieces, water, celery, carrots, onion, and basil in a slow cooker.
  2. Cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Strain before using, and discard vegetables. Chicken may be removed from the bones, and used in soup.

Have A Blessed Weekend My Friends,

Phil

Phil, you are doing a lot right, keeping us all hungry or full from using your recipes. That cat seems to be having fun making music also.

Came by to leave one these.
