[QUOTE="donna723, post: 529545, member: 1883"] Lisa, are you talking about ending up with broth when you're ROASTING a whole chicken? You must put a lot more water in there than I do. I just sit the chicken in the roasting pan with maybe a quarter-inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Eventually that water will evaporate and what is left on the bottom of the pan is just the juices and the fat that cooked out of the chicken. That's what I make my gravy out of. What I was talking about is what's left of the chicken carcass after I've had a meal or two off of it. I put what's left, bones and all, in to a big pan on the stove with just enough water to cover it and then just let it simmer an hour or so. Then take out the chicken, pull the remaining meat off the bones, then you can use the meat and that big pot of broth to make some other recipe with. I'm making myself hungry now! I had a really good recipe for potato soup that I'm going to try again. I just peeled a whole big pot of potatoes and cut them in to small cubes, but I added some onion and cooked them in chicken broth instead of water. When they were done, I took about half the potatoes out, mashed them with a little butter, and stirred them back into the remaining potato cubes and chicken broth. It will be pretty thick. Then add some milk or cream (cream is better!) until it is the consistency that you want. If you like, you can stir in about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and stir till it melts. REALLY good and really cheap! You can add veggies to it if you want - whole kernel corn is good. I also put little 1/2 inch pieces of asparagus in it once and it was wonderful! [/QUOTE]
