I find the grocery store rotisserie chickens hard to resist. They smell so good and if I am hungry when I am shopping they are even more tempting. I gave in and bought one recently. I had four nice dinners and there was still quite a bit of meat left on the bones. I thought I would try making soup and stretch the chicken a bit more. The result was this delicious soup. I picked up some ancini di pepe pasta on the sale shelf at the grocery store. It looks a bit bigger than couscous. Any small pasta like orzo would be a good substitute.
Rotisserie Chicken Soup
1 carcass store bought rotisserie chicken ( leave some meat on the bones)
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 yellow onion chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1/2 pint fresh grape tomatoes, halved
1 4 ounce can sliced black olives
2 medium carrots chopped
1 cup frozen or fresh green beans
2 cups cooked chicken ( divided into bite size pieces)
1/2 cup Acini Di Pepe pasta (orzo is a good substitute)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste.
Put the chicken carcass and chicken stock into a large stockpot. Cook under medium heat until it just starts to boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook for at least 12 hours. If you can 24 hours would be perfect. Remove the carcass. Take off any meat still clinging. Strain the broth. Remove any meat from the strainer and add to the broth.
Return the broth mixture to the stockpot. Add the onion, celery, tomatoes, olives, carrots, beans and chicken. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes. Add the parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 6.
