I used the carcass of our Sunday night chicken to make soup. I confess
that I had never had a lot of success with chicken soup in the past and
for some reason I used the same method. I stripped the meat off the
bones and threw them into a pot. I chopped some onion, carrot and
celery, squashed a clove of garlic and tossed them into a pot along with
some bay leaf and some pepper and pan drippings, added some boiling
water and simmered it for about two hours. I strained the broth and then
picked out the bones and gristly bits and returned the aromatics to the
broth.

For supper we heated up the soup and added some Orzo. Holy cow. It was
the best chicken soup ever.

I can honestly say I've never made chicken soup with a
chicken carcass.  But then I don't buy a rotisserie
chicken maybe once every 10 years if that often.

Dave's wife roasted the chicken, but that's not something I do often
(nor do I buy rotisserie chicken).  I'm glad he enjoyed the chicken
soup, though. :)

Yes, I forgot she had roasted the bird, and I don't roast
them either.  The nearest I've come to 'roasting a chicken'
is when I took a large sheet pan of legs to work m.a.n.y.
years ago.
