I used to make chicken & dumplings from scratch when I lived in Florida all the time. Tonight I made homemade chicken soup. Yesterday we picked up 2 chicken friers, cut them up to freeze and then I boiled down the rest to make soup tonight. We ended up with 5 meals from the chickens after we cut them up and then we will have 2 meals of the soup. Not bad for $10. And DBF can cut them up pretty easily. They were on sale for $.88 a lb - pretty cheap if you ask me. The soup was so good - no noodles just chicken and stir fry veggies. I cheated and used a frozen bag instead of cutting them up myself plus a can of garlic tomatoes. yum yum!

Glad everyone is doing good!
