- 1 whole chicken carcass bones
- 1-2 cups shredded chicken cooked
- 1 large onion chopped
- 3 carrots peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 cup cooked basmati rice
- 1-2 tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water for broth (approximately 8-10 cups)
- 1 cup frozen peas for added vegetables optional
Prepare the Broth
Place the leftover roasted chicken carcass in a large stockpot. Add enough water to the pot to make about 8-10 cups of broth.

Place the pot on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 4 to 8 hours. This will infuse the broth with chicken flavors. Skim any foam that rises to the surface.
After simmering, strain the chicken broth through a fine-mesh strainer into another large pot or bowl. Discard the chicken bones and any solids.
Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
On a baking sheet, combine chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Drizzle with a bit of oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables develop a nice roasted color.
