I put the carcass the pot with the veggies and seasoning and covered all with water. Used wild rice instead of noodles. Yummy!!

HOW MUCH WATER!!!

Yum! The recipe extracted a great deal of flavour from the chicken carcass and it had a wonderful aroma during cooking. The chicken broth I was using was quite salty so I cut back on the amount of salt and the only other change I made just to suit what I had on hand was use rice noodles instead of egg noodles. I put those in the pot and cooked along with the soup for the final 15 minutes. It made a great tasting and substantial soup which we really enjoyed along with some crusty buttered rolls. -
awesome added potatoes instead of noodles -
I was not sure how this would turn out but it was great. I have made chicken stock before (using a long French recipe) so added just over two inches of water over the ingredients. You have to work out what the water level will be before you pour it in - the vegs all float. I also degreased it after removing the bones etc. Let it go cold, if you can, put it in the freezer for 15 minutes, then skim off the fat. I have just had the first portion - much tastier than I expected and, then realised I had not added the chicken meat that I had picked off before starting. The rest of it is going to be great!
