@Lynn, That is helpful, we just don't get chicken broth in a can like you seem to in the US. We are starting to get it in plastic long life pouches or in very concentrated liquid form but both are expensive. Stock Cubes/Boullion Cubes work well for me. Thanks for clarifying.

@Lindsay, Lindsay, chicken broth in a can is just chicken stock. Here you can also make it using a bouillon cube and water, which sounds the same as the stock cube you are speaking of.Or you can make it from scratch by cooking the chicken bones and skin in water, sometimes flavored with vegetables, then draining the liquid. The strained liquid is what we call chicken broth/stock. Chicken broth has no vegetables in it. It is just the liquid. I hope that helps.

@Geri@heartnsoulcooking, Definitely! I love kielbasa but I never know what to make with it except in a sausage sandwich with peppers and onions.

Mmmm…I am really tempted to go out and buy the ingredients for this on the way home! I love German food–my late grandfather once called my sister and me “sturdy German girls” and thought it was a compliment–we are of German ancestry. But hey, if that means I love kielbasa and cabbage, then he was right!

This sounds lovely.
I have a question about chicken broth in a can? I am not sure how this translates in the UK. Is chicken broth essentially chicken stock and if so could I just make up the equivalent with a stock cube. Or is chicken broth an actual tin of soup like scotch broth or vegetable broth (ie: a thinnish soup with veg and barley in it?)
Thanks Lynn

@Amanda, Amanda, I have actually frozen this after I cooked it. The texture changes a little, but overall it is still good. I have used it several times for my husbands lunch by freezing the leftovers.

Sounds wonderful. And I have everything except the swiss cheese right in my kitchen. I make soup at least once or twice a week. And this one’s next on my list. I just made baby lima bean soup today. Also in the crock pot

Thanks!
