Chicken noodle soup

[qkrx7]

First I want to tell the I have a really hatred deep down in the sub-cockle of my heart (thank you Denise Leary for that gem). Over the weekend it was really nice out. So on sat I smoked 2 birds, sun. I did a brisket. With 2 birds an just 3 of us there is always left overs. I make chicken noodle soup all the when its cold out an today it got colder here in Denver. So I thought why not make it with the smoked chicken is has to be good right.

So I threw the carcasses, some carets, celery, bay leaves, parsley, sweet basil, and garlic in a pot an put it on the stove to boil for a few hours. Here we so far will add some finished pics.

Looks like you off to a good start.

Sounds like a great start. I've made it with smoked birds. This should be good.

Did you throw in some of the skin too? That'll add some fat and smoke flavor. You can remove it with the bones.

Since the chickens are only like 5-6LB each I tend to cook a little lower temp to get good smoke on them so the skin does come out rubbery but that's ok I don't really eat the skin that often. So I threw the skin in with it to get all that flavor form it.

Nice. I do too, and it makes it real goooood.

An the finished product. The smell in the house and in the pot I am not sure can be put to words. The taste is out of this world. Campbell's has nothing on this.

Well done! yes that homemade version I am sure knocks the canned stuff out of the park!!

[RowdyRay]

Nicely done. Beats canned any day.
