  • Every Monday we typically slow cook a whole chicken. We eat some of the meat off the bone, strain almost a gallon's worth of rich broth, and pull all the remaining chicken off the bone. This one chicken will feed our family for at least 3-4 meals, always including a big pot of soup. Eating this way has saved us thousands over the years while still providing our family with nourishing meals. Come along and we'll show you how we do it!

    Where have you been all of my life?? Lol. If I make it to the 24th of this month I will be 69. I have cooked my entire life from the time I was seven or eight. I was getting some things prepared for dinner because my parents both worked. I learned so much in the kitchen, but we had big hearty meals, which is what they did back in the day. And I still enjoy those once in a blue moon. But the thought of fixing one chicken and having it last all week for the different recipes was so comforting to me. I haven’t been watching you very long but believe me every time I see a video pop up I watch and I’m so impressed. BTW, that broccoli cheddar chicken soup looks fantastic. I will be making that very soon. Keep up the good work. God bless you and yours.

    Red beans and rice was a Monday staple in New Orleans. Monday was laundry day and took all day. So beans were put in a pot with the fixings plus leftover meat from Sundays meal. It cooked with minimal hands on and at the end of the long day of washing and drying clothes all was needed was some rice

    Hello from our family farm in central ⛵⛵ lakes region New Hampshire. I haven't seen an Aga since I worked in England. We have a 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove that originally belonged to our Great Uncle. I use everything, the Home Comfort, propane range, slow cooker, Instant Pot, etc. Whatever serves me at the moment.
    We are 3rd generation, raising grass fed beef, haying , logging. Our lifestyle is decidedly 1940s with the best of 2024 on our 350 acres. Your channel popped up today. I look forward to following it. All the best ~ Diane

      @cassandrasmom- Thank you for your kind words, sadly I do not have the time to start a You Tube cannel. We three family members are running our farm, with occasional help during haying. I do teach sustainability in the form of New Hampshire rural living workshops from 1920 to 1940. My LLC is currently shut down and I will be reopening my business this spring/summer for the local community only. I travel to neighbors to to give " hands on" workshops and sometimes work with other folks in NH and Maine who are hosting workshops. Check out your local COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE and FARM BUREAU as well as CSAs. Some " Community Supported Agriculture" farms will offer workshops in growing vegetables or show you how to tend their crops. Try asking! All the best. ~ Diane

    I just started doing a similar thing, poaching a whole chicken for around 30 minutes (with salt, vinegar, spring onion, and garlic)
    Keep the meat for super quick meals, and return the carcass for maybe another 60 minutes while the stock reduces.
    Quick delicious stock - and delicious meat that never goes dry.
    A great option for summer when you don't want to run the stove all day and night.

    I love this! I wish more people talked about this tip! I usually get 1 or 2 whole chickens. either I’ll roast them up and use shredded chicken for 2-3 meals & make broth. Or I’ll cut the chicken up and use different parts for different meals.
    It’s just 3 of us so 1-2 chickens go along way and it saves money!

    Great video -- such a beautiful home! I used to make a chicken last for days when my kids were still children, too, and I still make stock of the carcass every time we have a roast chicken or another chicken dish. I use the scraps for a chicken salad, if there are any, but nowadays with adult children and a couple of little grandchildren, chicken is more of a Sunday roast thing at ours..
    One of the other ways I stretched the meat back in the day was that there was always a vegetable platter with some dip for starters.

    Please be careful when cutting up your veggies. Don’t put rounded side of veg on cutting board(carrot round side was on cutting board) Always the straight side down so object being cut is more stationary and look at some videos on how to use your cutting knife properly to save time when slicing and dicing & to be able to keep your knife in contact with your cutting surface. 🎉You are a busy mom and can’t afford a serious injury bc of a knife slip.

    I applaud you using what you have to the extent that you do. Too many people just fuss about being bored with something like just chicken and make such expensive meals that aren't necessary and wonder why they have no money. I grew up eating depression meals. There is a lot you can do with just soup. I do the bone broth after also. You can also save the peels and skins from veg and onions in the freezer and make a vegetable broth to flavor things also. Things are coming in the next couple years and people really need to get prepared and be ready. Just started to get some pots and garden areas ready, I live more in the mountains and we have a longer winter.Started growing my own horseradish for the fire-cider. I like the minced garlic fermented in the garlic also and its tolerable for children when minced. FYI!!!! to those that don't know, pre-shredded cheese has two more problems, well three. It does taste vastly different, it is sprayed with an anti-fungal called natamyacin and has been causing people to not respond to anti-fungals when they're really need just like the over use of antibiotics. Also, many cheeses that are shredded are mixed with a cellulose to stretch the cheese and it is a wood pulp product, research it.

We had that for a dinner and then for lunch the next day and still had leftovers. We also still had broth left so used that to make an onion sauce to serve over white bean "meatballs". That made another dinner and a lunch. I 💖 doing multiple meals like this.

One chicken feeds me for 5-8 meals just like what you are doing. I am going to try your method. It looked delicious!!! I have a question: Do you feed your chickens organic feed? I am afraid to use the stock because I feed mine non-GMO but can't afford to feed 30 meat birds organic feed. I was told that the toxins go to the bones and should not eat broth or stock unless it is an organic bird. Thoughts? BTW.....WHAT A GOOD COOK YOU ARE YOUNG LADY.

    You can use those bones to make bone broth too! I like to cook a whole chicken in a water to make meat stock, use the meat for a big soup or a couple of meals, and then use the bones and any other odd bits to make bone broth, which is still rich and wonderful when cooked in the pressure cooker along with the bones from one or two more carcasses (which I save up in the freezer). Thanks for the lovely video!

    Hi, I find that when I cook chicken on high in my crockpot, it gets mushy after about 4 hours. I don't add water, though.

    • @FromScratchFarmstead
      @FromScratchFarmstead  3 месяца назад +1

      I always do low for longer. It’s definitely fall off the bones chicken, but we really like the texture. I think the kind of chicken can made a difference too. We’ve found that the Cornish cross tend to be more spongy than a freedom ranger chicken. We prefer the texture of that meat much better. Thanks for watching!

    My first video of you. I really enjoyed it. I’ve made a potato soup before but not the broccoli cheese with carrots and chicken. sounds really good. I too like preparing meat ahead of time to have for later meals. I do chicken that way. I also cook up hamburger meat to freeze for later.

    I have found that chicken in its whole state is the least expensive per pound protein. I roasted chicken in the crockpot and the two of us ate on it for a week. Best $1.32/lb I’ve spent in a long time!!

      I've found chicken leg quarters to be a great bargain find, too! They can be left and cooked as is or separated out into thighs and drumsticks. I also buy bone-in breasts very often and they're versatile, too! Not a big help for you since you raise your own chickens so naturally deal with whole birds, but something to think about for those who purchase in stores.

    Use every part of the chicken but it's cluck. Just like with a pig you use everything by it's oink. With beef you eat everything but it's moo. I'm 69 and I grew up in the country. My mother never let anything go to waste. I'm so glad that she showed me all that she knew. I am so glad that you just popped up for me also. I am subscribing to your channel. ❤

    You can dehydrate the bones then crush them up and put them in the garden. I do recommend you dehydrate the bones outside so it does not smell your house up. But the bone meal is great for the garden!

    @From Scratch Farmstead: As you’re able, I’d appreciate a video focused on how you use the “less appetizing” parts. Maybe specific recipes or what you include in the category of less appetizing. I mean, how much is actually edible? I’m learning, so would appreciate the education. Thanks in advance!

    • @FromScratchFarmstead
      @FromScratchFarmstead  3 месяца назад +1

    When all my children were at home I roasted a chicken or two on Sunday evenings. We had a nice chicken dinner, and then used the rest over the next few nights for meals. One Sunday night my daughter declared "we are having rubber chicken" I was upset, saying it is tender and good. Why are you calling it Rubber? She said, BECAUSE IT BOUNCES BACK ON THE MENU, ALL WEEK!

    How do you use the head, feet, and organ meat? Adding them to your both would greatly increase the nutrition.

    • @FromScratchFarmstead
      @FromScratchFarmstead  3 месяца назад

      Hi! We freeze the feet and organs separately when we process our chickens but they all get used in broth or pate!
