Roast Chicken Soup Recipes

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:

• 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:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pin feathers and pat the outside dry. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
• Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, toss together chicken, squash, onion, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until squash and chicken are cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool. Transfer squash and onions to a medium pot and add broth, cumin, and coriander. Bring to a simmer over medium-high. With a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon, mash some vegetables until soup is thick and chunky. Discard skin and bones from chicken; cut meat into small pieces and add to soup. Stir in lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, top with fresh cilantro, if desired.

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:

• 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:

• 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:

• 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.
