Tips & Tricks
This soup tastes best if you make your own chicken broth from scratch. The most flavorful broth is made with roasted chicken meat and bones instead of raw chicken. Another tip is to add chicken fit for added gelatin if you can find any.
If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, do not throw away the carcass! Instead, repurpose it along with any leftover meat juices to make the most flavorful broth.
