Chicken Soup

Perfect for winter months or for someone with a cold/flu.
Whenever I roast chicken or buy a roast chicken off the counter, I'll freeze the carcass that hasn't used and use it to make a chicken broth/ stock or even soup.
It gives it a much better flavour than using stock cubes and it uses up every bit of the chicken including the bones.
For this recipe I used stock which was basically from a ham hock I cooked and saved the liquid by freezing it to add into other dishes.
I had 3 chicken carcasses but you can use however many you have to hand.

Steps
- 1
Add the chicken, onions, water, stock, celery, parsley to a large saucepan. At this point we're basically making the base for the chicken soup.
- 2
Bring to the boil and then cook for 40-60 minutes over a medium/high heat.
- 3
Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to cool down enough to handle. Shred any meat from the chicken carcasses using your fingers and set aside.
- 4
Using a sieve strain the liquid into another saucepan or container then return to the heat. Add the cooked onions and celery back to the liquid aswell (optional)
- 5
In the meantime add the rice or pasta to the liquid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until its just about cooked (If using rice, rinse it under cold cold for a few minutes to remove some of the starch).
- 6
Add the shredded chicken back into the soup a few minutes before turning it off, just enough time to heat it up.
