2 cans chicken broth or 2 cups water and chicken soup mix

Spice packet:
I use a square of cotton fabric and place 1/2 tsp pickling spice, 1 bay leaf, and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the center.
Pull up the corners to make a bundle and wrap with thread. This makes the spices easy to remove after cooking.

Personal Notes:
I watched my Granny Miller use spices in most of her cooking.
My Mom (Granny Buss) used spices as well, but didn't use a bag for them and it tasted really awful if you should bite into one. Yuck!!
