JD, I have this soup in the TMX now cooking away for dinner and am thinking of putting another one on straight after to freeze.  Have you frozen this at all?

No I haven't frozen this particular one kezza but it would freeze perfectly well.

That's the beauty of soups, anything goes.  Gee, I must do another pot of this soup, everyone seems to like it and I've forgotten what it even tasted like  :-)) :-))

Hi I tried this one with chicken necks and two legs, used my freshly made (for the first time) vegetable stock concentrate from the EDC and it was lovely, had a really lovely flavour! :D

tried this again yesterday with the leek that i forgot to put in last time. wow! it does make a difference. this soup was even better this time because the last time i chopped the veges too small and neatly and they were too tiny. i like chunkier better.
DS who has hollow legs and never cooks anything said i need to make double the quantity  :-))

HI JD - thanks for this one.  One of the loveliest things about living where it gets cold in winter is soup - my favourite meals  :D :D :D Made a batch to take over to some friends in need, it was delicious.  Am making another now for our family dinner.  The first time I had a problem with the drumsticks getting caught under the blades.  I get a little worried about my blade as not too long ago the broke  :'( :'( So this time I'm trying them in the basket with the veggies and soup mix underneath. Will let you know how it goes.

I must admit I was a little worried about putting the drumsticks in there too earth mumma but I chose the 4 biggest ones from my pack and had no problems. The basket idea is fine, as long as the total contents of the bowl are kept below the maximum level mark. Of course, you can use any cut of chicken for this recipe as has been proven by some of the reviews above.  I have 6 smaller legs thawing tonight as I am going to make this again tomorrow.

Hi Jd.  It worked fine in the basket - although I did have to tip off some of the liquid - which I poured back in when I added the meat back in. I was able to fit 6 drumsticks in the basket nicely.  My ds 7yrs declared it was the best soup he's ever had  ;D ;D ;D.  Will be making this again.  Thanks again  :-* :-*

Lovely, adaptable recipe.  I used different vegies to use up what I had, and what we couldn't eat.  Added cauliflower and used silverbeet stalks instead of celery.

Excellent cheap meal - 4 drumsticks fed 4 people!

I agree Cathy79 - so economiical, and you can easily utilise what is in the fridge and cupboard.  I didn't have any problems using the drumsticks when I made mine.

The first time I tried this the necks and thighs were in the basket. This weekend I used skinless, boneless thighs and one drumstick and the meat, even though in reverse was turned to threads. I would rather stick to the basket method.
