The frugal gourmet

Day before yesterday I baked two big roasting chickens....we had them for dinner with mashed potatoes and corn.

That night, I made the leftover breast meat into chicken salad (that's about 4 or 5 sandwiches or late night snacks for Scoote)...and the rest of the carcasses went into the soup pot to turn into stock.

Late night....separate the meat from the stock. Both into the fridge.

Today (cuz I was busy yesterday), I'm making a huge dutch oven full of my son's favorite cream of chicken and rice soup. We'll have it with biscuits tonight.

So...two chickens (big ones, I admit)....we'll get dinner for 4, all that chicken salad for Scoote, and probably 10 or 12 good bowls of soup.

Not bad for $12 (they were on sale)
