Noel's Chicken Soup
1 - 2 cooked chicken carcasses (or cooked chicken pieces, whatever you have)
Approximately two litres water
2 chicken stock cubes
1 packet Kings Country Chicken soup mix
About 1/3 cup Pam's soup mix (for those outside NZ this is just a cheap and cheerful basic soup mix)
1 large onion, chopped
About 1 1/2 tsp mixed herbs (essential!)
1 tsp minced garlic (or two cloves, crushed)
All or any of the following winter vegies (you can only usually fit in 4 or 5):

1 potato
1 large carrot
1 reasonable sized piece of pumpkin
1 - 2 celery stalks
1 parsnip
1 kumara
1/2 a swede or turnip
Throw everything together in a large pot or slow cooker and bring to the boil. Cook slowly for as long as you want or until the vegetables and pulses from the soup mix are softened and cooked through. Remove all the chicken bones and enjoy, no need to thicken or blend. Makes a super thick, chunky soup. Yum!

after the chicken "frames" are cooked along with the veges soup mix etcare cooked i remove all the meat ( you will be amazed just how much you get off the bones) i return 1/2 the meat back into the soup and use the rest of the meat cold with a little side salad for lunch - or make into sandwiches or on crackers etc - an economicalidea
