My wife made a batch yesterday. It blows away anything in a can. I will have some more tonight after work.

I made a big batch a couple of weeks ago and froze it. It's just as good now as it was then. Yumm!

"It blows away anything in a can."
Well, yeah.
Once in while in the interest of expediency, I'll open a can of Campbell's Chicken with Rice soup. I can literally feel my blood pressure rising because of the salt content.

Here's a tip: next time you make fried chicken or buy a pre-roasted chicken, remove all the meat from the bones with a fork, put the bones into a Zip-Loc and stick it in the freezer. When you make up a batch of chicken soup later on, toss the bones in. This is what gives real-deal chicken soup its body and flavor. Yeah, you have to pick the bones out after simmering down the stock (before adding the meat, veggies, and noodles), but it is worth the extra effort.

When I was in high school I worked as a stock boy at a department store. Sometimes we would get KFC for dinner. One of the guys on the dock would always ask us for the chicken bones for just this purpose. |

What do you do with all the fried stuff left on the bones? Cleaning each bone doesn't sound fun.

When I'm sick, I love it when my wife whips up some homemade chicken soup. Yum.

I have been thinking about chicken noodle soup lately. Maybe I will.

What do you do with all the fried stuff left on the bones? Cleaning each bone doesn't sound fun. You leave everything on the bones. As the water boils, the fried stuff comes off and it floats to the top, along with all the grease. Use a small strainer (sometimes called a spider, pic below) to fish all the floaty stuff out, and then use it to fish the bones out. Last, use a regular ladle to skim the fat/grease off the top. Easy peasy. Another simple way to get all the grease out is to place the pot in the fridge for a few hours. The grease solidifies like a miniature hockey rink and you can pick out all the pieces.  |

I just throw an entire chicken in the pot. Add garlic, onions and some carrots.

Local grocery had frozen turkeys on sale a few weeks ago for .19/lb. Picked up a couple for making turkey noodle soup. Cooked one last night and made a big pot of soup today... will be making lots more of it. The turkeys were about 20 lbs for the smaller ones they had.

I haven't had homemade CNS in way too long, and now I want some!

We buy that vacuum-packed chunked-up chicken at Costco. It's what they do with their leftover roasted chickens. Take it home, break them down into smaller packages and throw them in the freezer. Perfect for chicken dishes later on, like pot pie, chicken & noodles, chicken tettrazini, and CNS. Good stuff.
Myself, I make a mean potato soup. It's made with a big bag of Ore-Ida hash browns and a block of cream cheese. Easy, fast, and delicious!

Just made some chicken soup. Used leftover baked chicken and store bought chicken stock as base. Quick and delicious.

A lot of mention here about the chicken.  Don't forget that flour, salt and eggs concoction … That's one of the best parts. Queenie usually uses store bought noodles if I'm not around to make what my Mother always used. Like these ...  homemade-noodles1 by Larry Madsen, on Flickr |
