Turkey bones , chicken necks & chicken bones

You might have added too much water. Can you add some chicken or chicken bones and cook some more? Make sure soup has enough salt. I also add whole peppercorns in a mesh bag along with the chicken/turkey.

Some tricks that I've learned-
The more chicken the better- I'm talking like 4 bottoms for every 20 cups of water
Cook for as long as possible- I usually do about 8 hours on Friday- I skin the chicken before cooking
Add lots of fresh parsley and dill and salt about half an hour before you turn off the soup (or put it on the blech)

I find vegetables add a ton of flavor
Which vegetables do you put in
( some I put in a mesh bag because I just want flavor)

Why don’t you put in vegetables and herbs? Carrots, celery, parsnip, beet, sweet potato, onion, parsley, dill……

Was four bottoms to 20 cups a typo? 20 cups is a big soup and needs a lot more chicken than that.
I do 9-10 cups water to 4 bottoms and a lot of vegetables.
I measure the water in a measuring cup to make sure it’s not more than 10 cups to four bottoms.
Vegetables are onion, fresh garlic, carrots, celery, parsley root, parsnip, a few mushrooms, a plum tomato and fresh herbs. I put whole peppercorns and the herbs in a bag.
Op simmer your soup for a few hours with some more chicken and vegs.

I did. Thought that was obvious … but if it wasn’t I put in tons of veggies.
