Servings: persons

1 raw chicken carcasses or 1 raw turkey carcass, with as much skin removed as possible
30 cups water (or enough water to cover the body)
¼ cup salt (I use coarse salt, but whatever is on hand is good)
2 -3 cups carcass meat (or whatever comes off the bones, eliminating all mini bones)
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup alphabet pasta
1 ½ cups rice (not instant!)
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups peas
2 cups mixed vegetables (or variety of your choice)
salt (I once again used the coarse salt, this is up to you)

1
Boil carcass in pot large enough to hold it and with enough water to cover it.
2
Season with the 1/4 cup salt prior to boiling.
3
Let boil for up to 3 hours, checking water levels occasionally.
4
Use slotted spoon to remove all pieces of carcass (careful, it will have separated into smaller pieces).
5
Strain into another container with cheesecloth to catch all the meat floating in the water, as well as the residual fat from the body.
6
Allow the bones to cool to touch to remove the remaining meat for the soup.
7
Place the broth back into the now cleaned pot (washing in between is key here) with the meat from the carcass.
8
Stir occasionally.
9
Put back onto the stove to boil.
10
Add the cut thigh meat after the water boils.
11
Stir occasionally.
12
Add the rice and pasta, let come to a boil again.
13
Stir occasionally (see a pattern here?
14
:D).
15
Once the rice and pasta begin to swell, add veggies (you know what to do here :D).
16
Season to taste with salt.
17
Serve to those you love (especially yourself!
18
).
