What to do with left-over roast chicken carcass? Make chicken noodle soup! This recipe relies heavily on the fresh thyme, and earthy parsnips but is simple in its deliciousness.
You can have a more rustic meal by pulling off all the meat from the left over carcass of a roast chicken in place of the breast in this recipe, it’ll equal roughly 1 1/2 cup of chicken meat. This is almost a stew so if you want more liquid in your soup, reduce the amount of noodles to one cup.
