First attempt at making Beef broth and pureed roast. LOL

I have been craving beef roast so bad.  Since we are still on mostly liquids but can have cream of chicken soup,  I decided to cook a chuck roast for the sole reason  to have rich flavorful beef broth.  I wasnt sure what I would do with the roast.  
After the roast had been boiling for a few hours, I dipped some of the broth and although it was thin we had that for dinner.  It was ok, but not as flavorful as I had hoped.  

Since I had a huge stock pot full of roast and broth and no one home to eat it,  I decided to try to puree some of the meat for when we can start pureed foods.  This was NOT easy.  I kept on added broth to the blender becasue the meat even though it was cut into 1 inch cubes was bogging down the blender.   I must have added at least 6 cups of broth to each batch in the blender so that the blades could suck the meat down and chop it up.  

I finally got the blender to work its magic and after blending the daylights out of it, the roast was a watery mushy almost paste and would pass for pureed.  Not quite baby food consistency but I figured we could chew it even more when we get to that stage.  

I poured the pureed mush into a wire strainer and let the liquid drain into another pan.  It took a while to get it to drain.  I kept it mushy with broth and filled 18, 1 ounce containers with the pureed meat.  
After I finished puttin the meat up, I  tasted the drained broth from the pureed meat.  On My Goodness!  It was delicious!!  Rich and flavorful and exactly what I was wanting!  

So, not only do we have 18 portions of pureed meat in the freezer for later, but we have 48 ounces of the most delicious beef broth I have ever tasted!  I can hardly wait for lunch and dinner tomorrow!  I feel sure that this broth has protein in it and even though I cant count it, I know it is going to taste so good!

Sounds yummy, my suggestion would be add some veggies and use a food processor instead of blender. Use the broth for other foods and base for some great bean soup or onion soup. Lol I don't eat meat so I'm sure there is more recipes out there for all your meat and broth lol
                    
 if you wanted you could always add  unflavoured protein powder to your broth, GNC has one or some Beneprotein maybe? just a thought
sounds yummy tho!
