I made some chicken stock today using your advice, and then added carrots, chicken, and homemade egg noodles and I think it was one of the best chicken noodle soups I have ever had! i also made some pear sauce (thanks to one of my blog readers for the suggestion) to go with it.Budget Confidentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119506926386582144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-78456758818633163132010-11-07T14:20:12.391-05:002010-11-07T14:20:12.391-05:00I make chicken soup with the carcass all the time....I make chicken soup with the carcass all the time. I pick off all the meat possible, then throw what's left into a big stock pot with some veggies (carrots, celery onion for sure). In order not to waste, I either use the tops, ends or wilty veggies. I even throw veggies in the freezer after they aren't "fresh" but before they go bad just for this purpose. Let's face it, who likes wimpy carrots or soggy celery! I throw in some parsley, oregano, etc. Then the secret is time, salt and tasting. Boil away until you have a good stock- you will need a lot of salt- it seems excessive! Taste a lot. It's not a precise process, I usually add water several times since it boils down. <br />Then I make soup! <br /><br />When you are satisfied with the stock, use a strainer to separate the junk from the stock. Return the stock to the pan, add some good veggies, chicken, and once the veggies are soft I throw in noodles. Yummo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
