Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 3 pounds leftover chicken carcass, or turkey carcass or 3 pounds of chicken pieces
  • 1 -2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup rice, or 2 cups noodles

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in large pot. Place chopped onion, celery and carrots into pot and fry gently for about 5 minutes, until they are soft but not carmelized.
  • Add chicken or turkey carcass or pieces and bay leaf. Add water to cover, about 2 quarts, but this varies with the size of the carcass or amount of meat you use. Just make sure it is covered.
  • Add salt to taste. Boil for 2 hours, checking near the end of the cooking time to see if you need more salt. Add pepper at that time.
  • Remove meat and bones. Add rice or noodles and cook for about 20 minutes more. Cut cooled meat into small pieces and add back to the pot.
