This afternoon I had the remains of a roasted 4 lb organic never frozen chicken $17 !!) and did not want it to go to waste. I put the meaty bones in a stockpot, added about a quart of water, slightly less than a quart of already opened Swanson's chicken broth, veg and seasoning as stated. I did have to add about 3-4 t chicken bouillion granules to get the resulting soup base up to speed. Fortunately I still had the smoked paprika (hard to find in OKC so I bought two originally).Used plain diced tomatoes since that was what was to hand. Had tortilla chips and queso fresco. No avocado unfortunately. But the result after picking the the bones clean and discarding them was one really good soup. And I didn't have to leave the house. There are only two of us so I plan to freeze the rest of the soup base and do the shrimp part again. Going to get my money's worth!
