Introduction

This soup is made from the "leftovers" of a cooked, whole chicken. I cook a 3-4 pound chicken (skin and fat removed) in the crockpot, saving whatever is left after dinner. The bones are thrown away, the meat separated and put in a plastic container, and the remaining liquid filtered through a brass filtering ladle to remove most of the solids. All of this goes in the fridge. When I want to make the soup, I take the liquid and skim off all fat from the top, add water and all but the noodles into the crockpot, and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. Just before serving, cook the noodles and add to the soup. This soup is made from the "leftovers" of a cooked, whole chicken.
