I did, Nadeest, I did! The chicken bone infusion with several small garlic cloves made all the difference. I used some of the broth this morning in rice with veggies, had to correct the seasonings but I would have had to anyhow because I like my rice highly seasoned. I can't do too much in the way of heat--just cannot take much chili powder--but I love the flavor one gets from lots of seasonings at once.

Today I threw an onion into the broth, and then tonight I threw in the bones/skin/gristle/etc from two more chickens. I anticipate a wonderful broth tomorrow because I'm stuffed full from dinner and the crockpot fragrance still has me drooling. And yes, I confess it, I deliberately bought two chickens this afternoon just so I would have enough bones for the broth! Not that I'm highly enamored of this process or anything but yanno, a girl has to have enough broth that she can pull some out and make soup! I've got carrots and celery and chicken that are all lonely for each other now.
