Soup recipes?

Hey kids.

I made a roasted chicken the other day and I kept all the scrap chicken and bones with chicken still on it it and stuff so that I could make soup (I'm trying to be frugal and environmentally conscious and all that). Anybody have ideas? I keep pretty much all of the standard  stuff around the house (vegetables, whole grains, wild rice etc...)

Help a girl out! 

This one's a good one, just substitute evaporated milk for heavy cream, and use a lower fat cheese :)

Was there supposed to be a link?

I always make homemade chicken stock from my leftover bits. Clairelaine has this post on the details and my procedure is pretty much exactly the same as hers.

Use part of it to make chicken soup if you still have leftover meat (chicken, veggies, anything else you want to add). I freeze the rest in one cup portions in Ziploc bags. So much cheaper than buying chicken stock and it tastes much better.

thanks for posting that link.  I make another one from roast chicken, the same way, but you don't have to skim it.  I pick off all the meat I can, then cook up all the scraps with the ends of vegetables.  Then strain it, let it sit and skim off all the fat, and freeze it for later. 

A good thing to do is put all bones from roasts and whatever into a freezer container, then all vegetable scraps in another.  When you have a lot, you can make soup, for free.
