Alot of work (I actually made the pork broth) and really wasn't that good. Gristly (from gizzards) and too strong a liver taste.

This is a great recipe. Really easy to make. I left out the gizzards and livers and used chorizo sausage and chicken instead. I made 6 servings, but it could have easily served 12.
