HOMEMADE SOUP RECIPES WITH CHICKEN
Easy, Homemade Soup Recipes: Easy Chicken Soup(6)
Cut up any vegetables of your choice such as leeks, onions, celery, carrots, courgettes and any left over cooked vegetables you may have in your fridge. I usually use the vegetables from the previous night's roast chicken dinner.
Lightly fry all the vegetables in a little butter for a minute or two. Place in a large pot. Add the chicken carcass from the previous night's roast. Fill up the pot to the top of the carcass. Add a little more water if you wish. Add 3 chicken stock cubes, chunks of pumpkin and a grated potato.
In my opinion, which was also stated by my great-grandmother, you cannot make a good pot of chicken soup without the pumpkin. And she's right!
Boil gently for an hour and a half. Serve with crusty bread.

Simmer 4 cups of chicken stock, 1/2 cups chopped celery and 1 cup cooked shredded chicken.
When the celery is tender, add and cook for 5 minutes 1/2 cup of cooked long-grain rice.
Take off the heat. Liquidize.
Add 1/2 cup hot cream, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley.
Season to taste. Thin out with more hot cream if necessary and serve.

Boil the vegetables until the potatoes are tender and liquidize
Thin soup out with hot milk or hot chicken stock, or a mixture of both.
Season to taste
Serve with chopped parsley
Variation: Instead of celery use 1 large leek and 2 rashers of bacon
