NOTE -If you have a bit of this in your refrigerator, you will think of marvelous soups to make. Jewish people call this Gildern yoich, or golden soup.

HINT - To remove the fat from top of soup stock, use a plastic tube. Plastic tubing about 1/3-inch in diameter can be purchased at hardward stores. Strain the stock, and then remove the stock from beneath the fat by siphoning with the plastic tube. Tip the kettle holding the stock so that you can always keep the siphoning tube beneath the level of the fat. This works very well.
