    I started with some home made broth from boiling a rotisserie chicken carcass. Some of the chicken meat was returned to the soup.

    I put raw onions/celery right into the broth. That sat on the stove for about 3hrs. It was plenty hot enough to cook the veggies. Other veggies(corn, canned beans, whatever you like) and chicken were added shortly before eating. So, maybe 4 hrs in total.

    Nice Mike! Bet the house smelled really good with that simmering and the occasional whiff of smoke smell from a reload of the stove.

    And again today. Reducing/concentrating the broth. I'll fill containers and find room in the freezer for them.

    I got most of the fat off. They'll be covered, dated, and put into the freezer.

    Scrub a sweet potato, poke some holes in it. wrap in foil and place inside the stove directly on the coals. cook 25 mins then flip and cook for 20 more. the best sweet potato I've ever had.

    Turkey soup day!

    Sauted onions, celery, carrot, and garlic.

    Turkey broth went in, either some fresh grated ginger (used a microplane), some chicken bullion, leftover bread dressing, and some white wine. Letting it steep for a while.

    To be adddd: Turkey meat, frozen corn & peas, maybe a can of northern white beans. Egg noodles cooked up separately.
