"Drain liquid don't keep" ....its called soup stock. I keep onion skins and clean potato peels in freezer and boil to make a stock. It beats a "soup cube" from the grocery store which is basically chicken fat, salt, and msg. McCormick is the only soup cubes I do buy...vegetables and salt and no junk.

Interesting, sounds like onions in béchamel sauce.
