It is like chicken soup but much less soupy. the soup part is actually gravy. and there are yummy yummy dumplings (British-y, not Asian) on top. I'll send you the recipe. oh. and it uses a bay leaf or two.

I thought I lost it 2 years ago with a cold winter. The entire plant was dead so I cut it down to the stump. I was too lazy to dig out the stump and left it. Within a few months, I had a brand new baby bay tree! I didn't know they were that hardy! I rarely need more than a leaf or two of the bay so it's allowed to grow pretty big. I only use it for roasting meats or making stews or sauces. Don't know what else to do with it. Don't think it'll make for good baked goods! My prize herbs from my garden are my thyme and chives...you can't kill them and they are so useful!Cakebrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105616222969699846noreply@blogger.com
