Chicken soup for the soul

This morning I'm making homemade chicken stock from our leftover roast chicken dinner last night so that my hubby and I can have chicken soup for lunch with a surprise PHILADELPHIA cream cheese side dish (I'll keep you guessing until lunchtime).

My chicken stock never seems to be the same way twice.  I generally just use what's in my fridge.  This time I used about 5 cloves of garlic, 1 red onion, a handful of red cabbage, a handful of parsley, some baby carrots, beet greens, celery, salt/pepper and dried sage. I also like to add a chicken bouillon cube.


Do you ever use beet greens?  They are chocked full of calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus.  They also contain vitamins A, B-complex and C.  Definitely a winner in my book.  Not sure how else to use them?  Try juicing your raw beet greens.
