Method

• Delicious cheap family meal, ideal for a Monday.
• Following your Sunday roast, place the chicken carcass in a large saucepan with all the above ingredients, bar the left over veg and fresh veg.
• Bring carcass to the boil and simmer for 20 mins ( this removes all the meat from the bones)
• Remove carcass and place in a sieve over a plate.
• When cool, remove all the meat from the bones. The bird should yield a lot of meat.
• Remember to remove all the meat from the underside and wings of the bird.
• Place meat back into the saucapan and add the leftover veg/stuffing/gravy/cranberry suace etc you have or add potatoes, carrots, swede or any other veg of your choice.
• Optional - blend to a smooth consistency or leave it chunky.
• Serve with chunks of bread and cheese.
• To make this dish go further, soak "soup mix" (dried peas, lentils, pearl barley - available in supermarkets) overnight and add at the same time as the veg. Make sure you bring it to the boil and simmer for half an hour.
• Cook until veg is soft
