Hi,

Does anyone have a chicken soup recipe similar to cream of chicken by heinz.

I have been boiling my chicken carcus and need to know what to do now!

TIA

OK, pick up the recipe from here ...

Fish out the carcass and put it on a plate. Remove any meat which is still on the bones, Put the meat back into the soup. Discard the bones.

If you have a food processor, put the soup in it and blend it to the desired consistency. If you have a hand blender, put it in the soup and blend it to the desired consistency. If you don’t have a food processor or hand blender, use a potato masher, press the soup through a sieve with the back of a spoon, or leave it lumpy.

Then, add some milk or cream?

I haven't tried Heinz cream of chicken soup but I would guess it would need some seasoning and some flour to thicken it.

These couple of threads may help:

Chicken question again please soup ?????

Dunno. There's only one way to find out, really.

But don't forget that even Heinz products will have lots of both sugar and salt to distract your taste buds, so that you don't detect the poor quality and/or quantity of other ingredients.

My recipe is just chicken, onion, 2 vegetables (the choice is yours), water, one stock cube (the only source of salt), herbs and a bit of pepper. At least you know exactly what's in it and, if you don't like anything, you can omit it, swap it or add something.
