Hiya,

Im trying rubber chicken fo the 1st time today!

Ive read this whole post but can someone just confirm im on the right tracks to make chicken Stock!

*After removing the chicken i can break up slightly, add 1 1/2 pint water ,some garlic, few herbs, onion.
*Put it in the slow cooker overnight - low
*In the morning strain the stock to remove any bones
*When cooled(prob after work) remove the 'jelly' from the top. then add veg etc as normal for soup?

This can then be frozen?

Many THANKS!!!!

i made a lovely chicken, leek and potato soup last week.
Put a chopped leek and a couple of chopped potatoes in a pan with some melted butter, add chopped chicken and stock. Leave to cook for about 20 mins (until potatoes cooked). Season to taste

I just make my chicken soup with carrots, onion and rice as well as the chicken stock. Some black pepper to season and that's it. Simple but very tasty

I sweat chopped onion, garlic, potato, leek until soft, add stock and chicken, cook for an hour, blend and add cream

I'll add this to the existing chicken soup thread to keep recipes together
