Introduction
This is my version of chicken noodle soup that I make whenever I have a leftover roast chicken carcass from the night before. Simply pick off any remaining chicken meat and the rest will fall off the bone after simmering. A great way to get an extra meal squeezed in.

Ingredients
-
1 small onion chopped
2 med carrots chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
1-2 bay leaves
black pepper to taste
leftover roast chicken carcass
1 32 oz carton of low-sodium chicken broth
2-3 oz orzo pasta
Directions
prep and chop all veggies
add 1-2 Tbs of olive oil and saute 5 minutes
Pick over left over roast chicken thoroughly to get any remaining rib or back meat morsals. ( we normally take for granted and throw away the carcass, but you would be surpised how much meat is still on and it will make another hearty meal.) You should get around a cup of meat, chop into small pieces and set aside. Place the carcass in the soup pot and add the broth plus 3 more cups of water. (the carcass will make the broth richer and there will still be meat that falls off the bone)
After simmering for 20-30 minutes, add the chicken pieces and orzo and simmer 10 more minutes till it's done.
Remove the chicken carcass and scrape off any loose meat into the pot.
ouila, another meal in the budget that litterally cost pennies per serving.
