Rustic Chicken Soup Recipe

 

For my family, having a roasted chicken dinner somewhat resembles that of a Viking hoard feast .... along with the aftermath.  The carcass left over doesn't have much left on it, but you would be surprised to know it will still produce a full meal!

From one 5 - 7 lb chicken you can produce as much as a full gallon of soup.

NOTE: Put this recipe on the stove at 12 noon if you wish to have it for dinner that day. Soup takes TIME. You will be very dissapointed at the flavour and result if you put this one an hour before you're wanting it served.

The chicken soup I make is probably the 3rd generation of a family recipe. 
It's been tweaked and altered a few times for either convenience or nutrition sake.
The one I make is never really the same each time, because I alter it according to what is in season and what's in the pantry.
It's a great all time favorite that you purposely make far too much of so you can either freeze or can for the future.
