[Sca-cooks] Chicken Breast vs. Bone in chicken

[Alexa]

Well, my 2 cents on chicken soup.
If you use the whole cut up chickens you can make your
stock with those chickens while you cook them to use
the chicken for the soup.  I also have found that when
I use breast meat for chicken soup, it tends to be a
little dryer.
