giblet broth soup

When my husband is out I like to make something that I enjoy and he doesn't. This is the case with this soup. I had some fresh giblets and meat from a chicken that needed to be used and it was COLD outside! Soup to the rescue. This makes the perfect "pot for One" with leftovers for the next day's lunch. I like to float my Gluten Free pretzels in the soup...they kind of turn into "noodles!"
