Roast Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Drizzle some of the olive oil in the bottom of a roasting pan and move it around to discourage sticking.
• Wash, seed and quarter the squash and place in the pan peel-side down. Add quartered onion, potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms and any other vegetables you like to the pan, distributing them evenly. **Note: Celery does not roast well.
• Prepare the garlic head for roasting by removing any loose peel/paper and slice the top off, exposing each of the cloves. Tuck the head in the pan among the vegetables and drizzle a bit of olive oil over it.
• Season chicken as desired and place right on top of the vegetables. They act as a rack and the chicken seasons the vegetables wonderfully.
• Roast in 450F oven for 20 minutes then turn oven down to 400F for remaining cook time [usually 45 minutes for me, but this all depends on bird weight].
• After chicken is thoroughly cooked the vegetables will also be cooked. Time to plate and serve -- enjoy your wonderful roast chicken and vegetable dinner :).
• Once dinner is over, remove remaining meat from bones. I set the breast meat aside for sandwiches and save the rest for the soup. Place the bones in your crock with a bay leaf and just enough water to cover and let it simmer overnight at low setting. [Mine only has a low/high cook option] Don't forget to add the drippings from the pan.
• Next morning I scoop out the bones and leaf to discard. I also strain the broth, though it probably isn't necessary. Fat can be scooped from the top of the stock at any time you like but it should be minimal.
• Add the leftover roasted vegetables cut into bite size pieces. A quick chop should do since they're already cooked and easy to cut. [If you use the spaghetti squash, be sure to scrape out/use all the goodness and discard the peel] Also add bite size pieces of the meat.
• Mince and add as much of the roasted garlic as desired. The whole head may be too much for your taste, but the cloves have many other wonderful uses so it wont go to waste :).
• Taste the stock and add seasoning to preference.
• At this point the soup is ready to serve [pack for lunches]. I allow it to simmer throughout the day as the flavors will continue to develop.
• Optional - Add a cup of grain here. It will cook as the soup simmers.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot place chicken frame, bones, giblets etc. Add enough water to cover chicken frame and gently simmer for 90 minutes, covered.
• Remove all bones and chicken frame, but leave any chicken pieces in the soup. Add peppercorns, bay leaves, carrots, onions, green beans and potatoes. Add enough water to ensure that all the vegetables are covered. Cover and simmer gently until the vegetables are soft.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Put the bones and carcass from a leftover chicken (they can be in pieces) in a large pot. Cover with the broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim any foam or fat from the broth with a ladle as necessary.
• Remove the bones and carcass with tongs or a slotted spoon; set aside to cool. Add the carrots, celery, onion and bay leaf to the broth, bring back to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are about half cooked (they will still have resistance when tested with a knife but be somewhat pliable when bent), about 10 minutes. Stir in the rice (to keep it from sticking to the bottom), and cook until the grains are just al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, when the carcass and bones are cool enough to handle, pick off the meat, and shred it into bite-size pieces.
• When the rice is done, add the meat to the broth and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt or more to taste. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a stockpot over medium-high heat, saute the onion, carrots and celery in oil for 5 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the flour, oregano, thyme and poultry seasoning until blended. , Gradually add the broth, potatoes and salt; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender., Stir in chicken and noodles; simmer for 10 minutes or until noodles are tender. Reduce heat. Stir in milk; heat through (do not boil).

Steps:

• Fill large pot with carcass and add water to cover. Add basil, pepper and bay leaf. Simmer for one hour. Or until chicken falls apart easily.
• Remove chicken parts and bones from broth. Set aside to cool. Remove bay leaf. Once chicken has cooled, remove chicken meat and cut into smaller pieces. Add to broth.
• Cut carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms into small pieces. Add to stock. Cook until almost tender.
• Add orzo and cook until al dente. Approximately 8 minutes depending on size. Refer to package directions.
• Heat margarine in a small saucepan. Add flour and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in half and half. Once thickened, add some stock to the milk mixture. Add to soup.
• You are ready to serve :D.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions, carrots and thyme leaves, then gently fry for 15 mins.
• Stir in 1.4l chicken stock, bring to a boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins.
• Add the leftover roast chicken, remove half the mixture, then purée with a stick blender. Tip back into the pan with the rest of the soup, the peas and seasoning, then simmer for 5 mins until hot through.
• Mix the Greek yogurt, garlic and lemon juice together. Ladle the soup into bowls, swirl in the garlic yogurt, then serve.
• If you want to use a slow cooker, gently fry the onions, carrots and thyme leaves for 15 mins, then tip them into the slow cooker with 1 litre stock. If you're using a chicken carcass, add it now. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on High until the veg is tender. If you used a carcass, remove it now, shredding any remaining chicken from the bones. Stir back into the soup, or add the leftover roast chicken and frozen peas. Cook for 30 mins more. Remove half the mixture and purée with a stick blender, then serve as above.

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Place a large cast-iron pan on the direct-heat side of the grill to preheat.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Add a film of olive oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces, skin-side down. Allow the chicken to deeply brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and add the garlic. Briefly sauté until fragrant, then deglaze with the vermouth. Scatter in the tomatoes, olives and oregano bundle. Add the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Allow to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Discard the oregano bundle. Top with the basil and serve.

Steps:

• Put the onion, carrot, thyme, stock, and peas into a soup maker, and press the 'chunky soup' function. Make sure you don't fill the soup maker above the max fill line.
• Once the cycle is complete, stir in the shredded roast chicken, and leave to warm through while you mix the yogurt, garlic and lemon juice together. Season the soup, and pour into bowls. Stir in some of the yogurt and serve.

Steps:

• To make this stock in an Instant Pot: Add the chicken carcass to a 3- or 6-quart Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Chop the onion into eighths, and slice the garlic head in half crosswise to expose the cloves; dump the alliums into the pot over the chicken. Crush the bay leaves and add, along with the salt, black peppercorns, and turmeric. Add enough cold water to reach the max line in the 3-quart or to cover the bones in the 6-quart (5 to 6 cups). Gently stir and cover with the lid. Pressure-cook on high for 1 hour and let the pressure release naturally.
• To make this stock on the stove: Follow Step 1, but place all of the ingredients, including the water, into a large heavy-bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven or stock pot, and gently stir. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the stock is deeply golden, the chicken bones are falling apart at the joints when you try to pick them up and the vegetables have turned to mush, about 3 hours.
• Strain the contents of the pot through a colander set over a large bowl; press the bones to get out all of the liquid. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt as desired. Ladle the stock into large mugs for sipping, or use as an ingredient in your cooking. Alternatively, you can let the strained stock cool slightly before transferring into quart containers and storing in the refrigerator.
• This chicken stock will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Heat individual portions in coffee mugs to drink in the morning for breakfast, or use as a base for soups, stews and porridges throughout the week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Prepare roasted chicken: Place chicken pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat with 2 teaspoons oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Toss carrots, onion, and garlic with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Arrange mixture around the chicken pieces on baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are golden brown and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add 1 cup cold water.
• Remove chicken pieces from the baking sheet and let sit until cool enough to handle. Remove and discard chicken skin. Shred meat from chicken, keeping white meat and dark meat separate. Place bones in a large Dutch oven. Set aside 3 ½ cups white meat for the soup. Reserve dark meat and any remaining white meat for another use.
• Prepare stock: Add liquid and vegetables from the baking sheet to the Dutch oven. Add 10 cups cold water, carrots, celery, onion, parsley stems, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, occasionally skimming the surface for impurities, 2 to 4 hours. Strain and discard solids and reserve stock.
• Prepare soup: heat butter and olive oil in a clean Dutch oven medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add carrots, celery, and onion and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, another 3 to 5 minutes. Add 10 cups reserved stock and chicken base and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until veggies are tender, about 30 minutes.
• While the soup is cooking, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
• Stir cooked egg noodles into the soup with reserved white meat and parsley. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

Steps:

• Heat stock in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken, vegetables, and thyme. Simmer until hot, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.

Steps:

• Stir star anise in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until slightly darker, wrinkled-looking, and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add 3 cups water and ginger; simmer 15 minutes. Add broth, soy sauce, and sugar; simmer 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir oil and garlic in small skillet over low heat until garlic is crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Set garlic oil aside.
• Blanch chrysanthemum in large pot of boiling salted water until just wilted, about 5 seconds. Using strainer, transfer greens to colander. Rinse with cold water and drain. Return water in pot to boil. Add noodles and cook until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Drain; transfer to large bowl. Let stand 2 minutes. Mix in 1 tablespoon garlic oil. Using kitchen shears, cut noodles crosswise in several places.
• Heat chicken in microwave in 10-second intervals at low setting until warmed through. Divide noodles among 4 soup bowls; top each with 1/4 of chrysanthemum, chicken, and onion. Ladle 2 cups broth mixture into each bowl. Drizzle with some garlic oil. Serve, passing red chiles separately.
