In non-soup weather I have enough - I mostly use it for cooking rice or lentils - but now soup weather is upon us the bones from our occasional roast chicken won't quite cut it. So I buy chicken frames from the butcher. They're good - there are still some sizeable scraps of meat clinging to the bones, and they're about $3 for a bag of 3 carcasses. I recommend it! In the past I've boiled them as-is, but next time I think I'll roast them in the oven first - it gives the stock a much nicer flavour and colour. I should do beef stock too, but I don't like it - mine always tastes vaguely dishwatery, and it isn't as versatile. I make it myself.

Do you make all the chicken broth yourself? I make a lot, but find that I use even more and am always having to buy a quart of the store stuff. Wow, sounds intense.
