1 Whole Roasted Chicken, approx. 2 1/2#6 cups Water4 cup Clear Chicken Broth, low sodium1 tbsp. black pepper1 tsp. garlic powder1 tsp. salt3/4 cup Onions, finely diced3/4 cup Celery, finely chopped1/2 cup Carrots, finely diced 1/2 cup fresh Parsley, washed & minced, (approx. 1/2 bunch) 1 pound Geman spaetzle10 oz. pkg. fresh baby spinach
Separate the chicken pieces and remove the meat (minus bones, skin & hard parts). Break the meat up into small pieces then cover and refrigerate. Use the remaining chicken pieces (bones, skin, ...) in soup pot and top with 6 cups of water. Cook on medium heat for 1 hour, until the chicken carcass makes a nice broth. Strain the parts out of the broth and discard. This is your chicken broth base.
Add the chicken pieces, broth, pepper, garlic powder, salt, onions, celery, carrots and parsley. Cook for 20 or so minutes on medium heat, until the vegetables are soft.
Bring the heat up to high to bring to a full boil. Add the spaetzle and cook 20 minutes. Stir frequently to make sure all spaetzle is cooked evenly. Tear the baby spinach leaves and add to the soup mixture.
Serve immediately.
Note: If you want to make the soup ahead of time, do not add the spaetzle or spinach until getting ready to serve so they don't become soggy.
Serving Size: Makes 12 healthy bowls of soup
