LEFTOVER GARDEN VEGETABLE CHICKEN SOUP

If you have roasted a whole chicken for dinner and have leftovers, you have a perfect opportunity to make an awesome soup tomorrow!

 

For the Broth (homemade):

  • Clean the meat off the bones to save for the soup in the fridge.

  • Fill it with water and some of the runoff from your cooked chicken left in the pan, but be sure to strain it first.
  • Add a bay leaf, some salt & pepper & a cube of vegetable stock, then simmer on low for a few hours.
  • Strain out the bones & now you have a nutritious and delicious bone broth as your base.
  • Let cool & store in a Tupperware container overnight. This will solidify the fat and the next day you can skim it off or scoop it out for a lower fat soup broth.

Carrot

Cauliflower

Broccoli

Green beans.

Add a little later as it simmers:

Once veggies are mostly cooked & thawed, add the chicken and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes more, or until chicken is up to temp.
