Souper Excited

One of my favorite podcasts is "What Have You" with sisters Bekah Merkle and Rachel Jankovic. It's refreshing to listen to women who take homemaking seriously, yet also have rich intellectual lives and great senses of humor. I flatter myself that we could all be friends. They give tips on each show, stuff that has made their lives better and might make your life better, too. On one show, they recommended souper cubes. I make my own broth and have tried several different ways to store it. I've freeze it in plasticware, glassware, canned it. Turns out, souper cubes are the best way I've ever found to store my broth. I pour my finished broth into the silicone squares, cover them, place in my freezer for a day, and viola! Perfect cubes of broth to use in stews. In the photo above, I was making homemade pho. Once I realized I needed even more broth in the pot before boiling the noodles, all I had to do was pull another frozen cube out and add it to the soup. I'm souper excited about this new way to store my broth.

Note: The same principles and practices can apply to chicken broth. Save your bones and scraps, freeze them, and use them to make chicken broth, too.
