Vegetable and Chicken Broth

I ran out of stock last week, so I made more over the weekend.  The 10-month old that I babysit for is a vegetarian, so I made some vegetable broth for the first time.  It was really good!  I boiled 2 sweet potatoes, 1 bunch asparagus, 1 leek, celery, carrots, and garlic.  I also roasted some chicken drumsticks and boiled them with onion, leeks, carrots, and celery.  I didn't have enough jars to can everything, so I had to put some in the refrigerator.  I made vegetarian black bean soup for lunch today.  It needs some tweaking, so I will not post the recipe.  I did not think it was the best black bean soup that I've had, but my kids loved it - even the 7 month old!  I use my stock for lots of things, so I'm pretty excited to have some more.
