The remains of the rotisserie chicken avail almost every where are GREAT for making soup---if they are marked down get as many as your largest pot and or freezer can hold!
Place the chicken AND any drippings in the package in LARGE pot. Add onions--whole is fine---parsley; celery; carrots; pepper. Don't add salt yet! Cover with COLD water and bring to boil; simmer for as long as you can stand it. Now for that REAL home made taste I add PEPPERIDGE FARMS STUFFING---a 1/2 bag of HERB SEASONED for a LARGE Commercial size stock pot. (If you have home roasted chicken and made gravy---add the leftover gravy at the end!) After straining all the bits out with a Chinese wire strainer (too big to dump into colander!) I add every bodys Bubbe's Secret---a few boullion cubes! And a FEW dashes of tamari. Then you can adjust for salt.
You can cook noodles--thin or wide; or potatoes; or matzoh balls; or almost any other veggies (raw frozen or leftover) rice---dry or leftover--almost endless. Can be used as a stock; as base for Chicken n Dumplings---endless possibilities.
Make and freeze--if you can use Zip Bags and freeze FLAT on their sides---then you can stack or place upright like file folders to save space. Can then be placed easily in a pot of cold or hot water to thaw quickly. Don't try to heat in the Zip bags tho!
