BAKED CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt the butter or margarine.
• After the butter is melted, mix the flour in until smooth.
• Slowly pour in chicken broth whisking or stirring continuously until no lumps remain.
• Add the shredded cooked chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian salad dressing mix; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes.
• Add the milk, lemon juice, white wine and parsley, if desired.
• Reduce heat to low, add the cooked rice and cover.
• Cook until rice is heated through.
• ENJOY!
• SOME SPECIAL NOTES:.
• I do not add veggies to this dish, because the soup at the resturant does not have any in it. However, I am sure that some added carrots or celery would be yummy. Also, double the flour and butter to make a thicker soup. We like ours less creamy. For the chicken, I either use leftover baked chicken or I buy a cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and pull all the chicken off of that. I have never tried canned chicken. If anyone uses canned, let me know how it turns out!

LEFTOVER ROAST CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stock pot place chicken frame, bones, giblets etc. Add enough water to cover chicken frame and gently simmer for 90 minutes, covered.
• Remove all bones and chicken frame, but leave any chicken pieces in the soup. Add peppercorns, bay leaves, carrots, onions, green beans and potatoes. Add enough water to ensure that all the vegetables are covered. Cover and simmer gently until the vegetables are soft.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
