The reason I came up with the cheats version of this recipe is because my family hate bones in their meals. So no you don't get the full flavour from the skin and bones, but it's super family friendly.

Also lots of traditional dishes ask for rice in this soup, so I've compromised with a small amount of Soup & Broth mix. Below I have the macros, with and without this ingredient :-)
