so I spent yesterday and today boiling down all of the above 3 times, removed all remanents, and not I just have stock chilling in the fridge so I can strain the layer of fat from the pot.

tomorrow I will boil it down once more, add the chicken, corn and the other stuff.

That looks pretty terrible. Where's the BpA filled toxic chemicals? where's the cancer causing preservatives? no extra sodium??? no thank you sir! you'd better just dispose of that through a new government controlled program called SITT, or Send It To Tate.

That's the very reason they say to season soups at the end since most of the flavor compounds build so many layers you really don't need much if any when they're all combined. I'm betting that the smoking aspect took care of all of that for you. I can taste it through the computer screen btw.
