Homemade Chicken Soup

Homemade Chicken Soup - Moms For Real Food Initiative


The chicken soup I make is probably the 3rd generation of a family recipe. 
It's been tweaked and altered a few times for either convenience or nutrition sake.
The one I make is never really the same each time, because I alter it according to what is in season and what's in the pantry.
It's a great all time favorite that you purposely make far too much of so you can either freeze or can for the future.

Labeling Foods For Storage

My Dymo LetraTag labeller is probably one of the most used "utensils" in my arsenal!

Before freezing, storing, refrigerating or filing always label it! Too easy my friends.
