A great way to max out your leftover chicken roast using the carcass to make the stock and then the remnants of meat to make a flavoursome and filling soup. The soup recipe is from BBC Good Food but modified. The stock is my own recipe. The prep/cook time below refers to the soup only.

Instructions

For the stock

Step 1

Put all the ingredients into a large pot. Bring to the boil and lift off any scum. Reduce to simmer and cover for 1.5 hours hours. Keep an eye on the water level from time to time. Rather than add more water and tone down the flavour, remove from heat. Remove the carcass and discard. Run the stock through a seive and leave to cool unless using it immediately.

For the soup

Step 2

Drizzle the honey into a moderately heated pan until it bubbles. Add the soy and heat until it bubbles. Add the chilli pepper and stock. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 min.

Step 3

Add the chicken and ginger. Simmer for a further 5 minutes. Finally add the noodles and pak choi. Heat through until the noodles are hot and the pak choi is wilted.

Step 4

Ladle into bowls, sprinkle over the finely sliced spring onions and to pep it up add chilli flakes or Tobacco.
