Warm Up with This Cozy Rotisserie Chicken Soup

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

Happy New Year (a few days late...no, wait, a couple of weeks late)! I've been distracted.

We’ve been dealing with some home repairs which means lots of soup for dinner. When I’m cold or don’t feel like cooking much, soup is always my go-to.

This Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Soup isn’t just a recipe—it’s a way to nourish your body and soul while using what you already have.

Why This Recipe is a Game-Changer:

  • Leftover Turkey? Toss it in for a delicious variation.
  • Tired of Soup? Use a pie crust to turn it into chicken pot pie with a slightly thicker soup base.
  • Sad Produce? Dry carrots or limp veggies are perfect here.
  • Half-Used Bags of Freezer Veggies? Save time and reduce waste by adding them.
  • No Cream? Use evaporated milk, but avoid boiling to prevent curdling

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair with cornbread, biscuits, or crackers for extra satisfaction.
  • Place noodles, mashed potatoes, or mashed cauliflower in your bowl before ladling the soup on top.
  • For a rustic twist, serve over toasted sourdough bread on a plate

Happy Bakers

This was so good! I added 4 large cloves of garlic (minced). I also added some radishes while it was simmering so I could have “potatoes” in there. Thank you for sharing! KARMEN

Warmly,

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX My creativity in the kitchen has gone into hiding during the high temperatures of the past few weeks. I’m hoping it comes back soon. Does that ever happen to you when it’s time to cook dinner? True confession: I’ve also been distracted by Mahjong this summer. My husband, children, grandchildren, and I have all learned to play, and we’re having a wonderful time with it. I’ve made new friends and gotten to know my neighbors better. I may...

Sliced white bread in a basket with butter on the side

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX It's hard to get in the mood to bake bread when the temperatures climb. On the other hand, if you're lucky enough to have fresh tomatoes, homemade bread takes a BLT to another level. So I keep baking—usually by turning the oven on early in the morning. While testing a new-to-me recipe yesterday, I ran into something I don't think I've ever talked about. The recipe was written in metric measurements (thankfully), but it also listed tiny...

straining yogurt with a handkerchief

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX A reader emailed me this week to say she strains yogurt with men's handkerchiefs. Not cheesecloth. Not coffee filters. Handkerchiefs. I've heard plenty of creative yogurt-making ideas over the years, but this was a new one. I have questions, of course. How much yogurt does she strain at one time? How large is her strainer? Is washing and drying the handkerchiefs significantly easier than using cheesecloth? Apparently, it works well for...
