Broth

[Guest guest]

I am so discouraged, we put Anya in the intro diet again, today will be her

third day, this morning her BM was still watery, and with a little blood.

I just realized that we are giving her chicken soup that was cooked with

onion and celery not just salt and carrots, although it was strained. Could

this be it? I am already making a new pot .

I made a pot of starter soup today and after the lid being on 4 hours I opened it up and there wasn't any liquid left! This has happened 1 other time to me and I'm wondering if it's because of the pot I cooked it in. I usually use a big stainless pot w/a lid and it's fine. Today I used a cast iron pot with a lid. Does the water absorb through the pot itself and cook differently than a regular stainless pot? Hmmm??? Good science experiment! Luckily I have broth in the freezer for my soup but bummer to go through all that and get no broth!!

Hey- I think it's natural for the liquid to just evaporate out- especially

because we let our soups simmer for so long. (Think about how we do this on

purpose to tomato juice to make it thicker?).

I would recommend having the heat a little lower so it's at a quiet simmer and

also to just keep adding water! That's usually what I do.

That really stinks after you put all of that time into it. Well, if it makes you

feel better, I was pouring my stock out into another container over the sink and

lost about half of it because it stuck to the bowl and spilled into the sink.

Criminey!!!!

Most likely, the lid on the cast iron pot doesn't fit as tightly as the

one on the stainless pot, and the water boiled away.
