I always make soup from the bones. I think it is a real health food. The nutrition comes out of the bones and forms gelatin when you chill it. I call that nutrition you can see! This is such a family tradition, that my daughter called for soup directions last night . She is working today (at Target poor thing) but she has her girlfriend making the soup.

Hubby makes broth or soup. He’s already stripped the carcass and made stock. I need to post that recipe sometime.
