Chicken Soup (Made from left over bones and skin) image

One of my maternal Grandma Walkers shared recipes, from the depression years. One of her favorite sayings was: "waste not, want not" Besides being very frugal, it was also very healthy,and served whenever you were sick. Your choice of other vegetables can be added with the rice.
