I suppose this doesn't "technically" count as a Thursday night dungeon dinner seeing as how the dish was cooked on a Wednesday night, but I'm eating it on Thursday soooo.
Anyway, tonight's Dungeon Meshi (translator's note: "meshi" means "meal") is some chicken soup intended to do battle against sick symptoms. It's largely broth rendered from pre-cooked chicken bones, with carrot, celery, onion, and garlic as additional and necessary aromatics. There was added some pre-cooked chicken at the end as well, although it is still very broth-heavy (not a stew), I think that's really nice! Especially since I'm trying to get over some initial AGH! about drinking soup (and hot liquids in general).
It's a very solid (not literally)(I mean that it's good not that it's chowder-y) soup. I think I'd like to branch out more in some aspects, but I was very fortunate to not need to rely on myself or the recipe I derived it from (which asked me to use a dutch oven!? Do I look like the kind of person who can afford Le Creuset) for flavoring. Eventually I will be brave enough to learn how to cook soup that doesn't rely on dairy, though. :P
I can't use that item here...

in reply to @GraveSight's post:
They want me to have a dutch oven just for sweating onions. While I render broth for forty minutes.
It just seems like a tall order for a recipe that only asks for two bay leaves and S&P for seasoning for the whole thing!
Not sure what example would work best here, so speaking more generally: Makes me think of requiring higher-level or expensive/quality equipment, but then the class/training/etc turns out to be very basic. -OI
ohhh that sounds really good though!! I've never really made my own stock before :o
I've found it can be pretty rewarding and enjoyable because you've got more control over the flavors! And it's especially useful because you can make it with literal scraps if you are so pressed (bones, veggie scraps from things like onions, carrot heads, etc) and use it in other dishes.
