Not exactly a recipe, more of a method. This is a great way to get an extra meal out of a chicken. How meaty your soup ends up depends on how much is left on the carcass. The one I used today was a small chicken with not much meat left do it's more of a chicken flavoured vegetable soup.
Ingredients
1 chicken carcass
Water
Whatever veg you have in the fridge or freezer
Herbs
A couple of big handfuls of pearl barley
* put the chicken carcass in a pan and cover with water. Season well, bring to the boil and cook for around half an hour.
* Drain the liquid off into a bowl, retaining the chicken
* chop up your chosen veg. I used carrot, parsnip, onion, garlic and sweetcorn
* return the stock to the pan. Add the veg and pearl barley. Add whatever herbs and seasoning you fancy.
* pick over the chicken carcass and remove any meat. Add the meat to the soup.
* simmer for an hour, or until everything is cooked
