Chicken Stock
chicken carcass left over from roast dinner
1 large onion
2 or 3 carrots
pinch of mixed dried herbs
Add enough water to cover the chicken and boil everything for anything from 1/2 - 1hour then strain (the longer it's boiled, the more concentrated the flavour).
Chicken Soup
Chicken stock
Left over/cooked chicken
Leeks
Handful of Pearl Barley
Carrots
Potatoes
Garlic
Black Pepper
Fry 2 or 3 chopped leeks in olive oil and a little crushed garlic until starting to soften, then add 2 or 3 cubed carrots - again allow to cook 3-5 mins, add pearl barley and fry gently for a few minutes, add in any left over bits of chicken and veg from the Sunday roast, as much chicken stock as required and bring to the boil. Add 3 or 4 peeled and chopped potatoes and seasoning and simmer for about 30 mins.
Remove a bit of the soup, blend it (I like some chunks in my soup - you could blend the lot if you wanted) return to pot and serve warm.
A dash of cream added in at the blending stage is nice

My recipe book is thick, but also has a thick coating of dust on it as Chuffy is a very good cook and I'm a lazy Bagfossyant said:
