Ingredients
1 – 2 whole chicken carcass
6 celery sticks
6 carrots
1 white onion
3 cloves garlic
6 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs rosemary
4 sprigs sage
12 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can navy beans
1/4 cup white rice
The first step is to make a broth. You can do this days in advance and store the broth in a refrigerated or a frozen jar. Or you can take a nice lazy weekend and create the broth and soup at the same time. If you choose this path we recommend that you chop all the vegetables for the broth and soup at the same time.
For the broth, rough chop 3 celery sticks, 3 carrots, 1/2 white onion, and 1 garlic clove. You can add the tops of celery with the leaves to the broth. Add 2 whole sprigs of rosemary, thyme and sage. For the soup, finely chop 3 celery sticks, 3 carrots, 1 yellow onion, and 2 garlic cloves. Chop 2 sprigs of rosemary, thyme and 2 sprigs of sage.
Feel free to experiment and add more celery, carrots and onion to both the broth and soup mixtures.
Next, add the broth veggies and the chicken carcass to a large pot or dutch oven. Include any giblets, neck, and backbone that you may have from the chicken. As a side note, it’s worth saving and freezing the backbones, necks and giblets from any whole chickens that you spatchcock and cook. No need to throw that stuff away, turn it into soup! Next submerge the chicken and veggies in water (approximately 12 cups of water). Set the burner heat on high until the contents starts to boil. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours stirring occasionally. Then turn off the heat and allow the broth to cool down. Using a slotted spoon, remove all chicken from the soup and place on a cutting board to cool off. Pour the liquid contents through a sieve into another pot to filter out all the vegetables from the broth liquid. Next pull the chicken meat off the bones and add it to the filtered broth liquid. Next add your soup veggies and herbs to the meat and broth mixture. Place the soup pot back on the stove and cook for 1 hour on medium low. Add the rice and navy beans and cook for another hour.

I do this routinely with rotisserie chicken. Works great! Throw in some of the rotisserie meat, it makes for a great soup. Don't forget potatoes and corn.

I've just taught my daughter how to use a chicken carcus to make a soup ,I've brought her up eating it and she always loved it ,my Irish family always showed me how to stretch all your meat for a main and this is still my favourite

Pro tip: after you strain out the chicken and vegetable pieces, let the soup cool. Then either put it in the freezer or outside in the winter for 20 minutes or so. All the fat will have risen to the top and congealed. Skim it off with a, spoon, and continue with the remaining recipe steps.

I save all my bones from rotisserie chicken in a zip lock bag in the freezer until I get enough to make soup. Fabulous !
-
It does look good. I wouldn't have thought to add navy beans but It works. I have a large pot of turkey carcass stock - trying to find something to do with it. Serve over some fresh egg noodles and this recipe?

I finally got around to making this chicken carcass soup ! & it is totally awesome , I made mine a little bit heartier ! By adding 4 chicken backs with partial necks , 2 cans of navy beans , 1/4 cup more rice , 3 cups of additional water along with extra rosemary ,thyme, & sage ,Same amount of salt ,& a 1/4 teaspoon more pepper same amount of celery , & garlic cloves with 2 extra carrots ! The whole process took about 5 hours ! & well worth it , It does need more salt but I let those who were served season to taste , & I eat it with saltines so to me it's perfect ! & so was the weather cloudy cool , & rainy it's just YUMMY😉, & is a keeper.
