Introduction
This recipe is intended to use leftover smoked or barbecued chicken thighs but any leftover chicken will do. However, the smoked chicken is really what gives this soup it's remarkable flavor so if you're using another type of leftover chicken you may want to add a cap-full of liquid smoke.

Ingredients
-
3 TBSP EV Olive Oil
4 Chicken Thighs, cooked & cooled, skin removed. Ideally, leftover smoked or barbecued chicken.
1 medium sweet onion. Vidalia would be perfect but use what you have on hand. Chopped medium.
1 large carrot, grated.
1 large tomato, chopped medium.
3 cans of tomato soup
3 cups milk (2%)
Salt & Pepper to taste.
*1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke ONLY if NOT using leftover smoked chicken.
Directions
Pour olive oil into a heavy soup pot on medium-high heat. Add chopped onion & grated carrots to oil and stir to coat. Allow them to brown a bit, stirring once in a while.
While those are sauteeing, take the chicken off the bone and chop into medium pieces.
Add chicken to the onions & carrots until heated through.
Reduce heat to medium and add tomato and any juice from the tomato.
Sautee for a few more minutes until tomatoes have softened a bit.
Add the tomato soup and milk, stirring (or whisking if you prefer) until smooth.
*If you're using the Liquid Smoke, add it here to taste. Start with half a teaspoon, stir, let heat a moment or two and then taste. You can always add more smoke flavor if you like but do it incrementally...it's one of those things that you can always add but can't take out! :)
Reduce heat to low (or medium-low if you're in a hurry) and let simmer a bit.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Servings: Approx 8 1-cup servings.
