She'd make what looked like a giant soup pot, then when the broth was *perfect* she'd pull out the chicken parts, put in the veggies. She'd shred the cooked chicken for chicken in white sauce for later that night as the soup finished cooking, then cooled for dinner the next day.

She only made 1 crappy meal that all of can remember, Liver Supreme, do not ask, the regular liver & onions was really good.
