Inspiration with Chicken Stock

Nelski

Ok so I know im working backwards here but today I cooked a whole chicken in the slow cooker which was gorgeous Anyway being a proper OSer and all that I lobbed the carcass back in the liquid with some onions and carrots and will soon have a really nice chicken stock. However apart from chicken soup which I dont really like I am stuck for a really good use apart from as usually happens filling a space in my freezer :rolleyes:

Any ideas?

Hi Nels :hello:

Do you like any kind of soup? I mske al sorts with chicken stock as the base. What about carrot and coriander? Or curried pasnip? Or leek and spud?

Hi Nelski,

As Haribo says any soup will benefit from hm stock whether chicken, beef or veg stock.

I keep my stock in the freezer and use it in stews, casseroles, risottos, gravies, sauces (instead of the milk in a white sauce for things like chicken pies).

Do you have any of the chicken left? Use that and a selection of your favourite veg. I always have leftover risotto, which I freeze in individual portions for work lunches, That's what I have for tomorrow

I add noodles & spinach or another green veg to my chicken stock for a quick supper. It's one of my favourite meals! If I'm defrosting it, I'll reheat it with a bit of lemongrass & chilli to give it a bit of zing (don't do this if you're eating late, it wakes you up!). Otherwise, like Penny, I go for risotto.

Jamies mushroom and parmesan risotto made and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks again you lovely peeps and by the way is it ok to freeze risotto cos i made enough for 14

Yup, its fine. And you can also form the rissoto into cakes and fry it. I can't remember the italian for it, but its lush!!
