Instructions

  1. Start by pulling the white and dark meat away from the bones. Place the shredded chicken in a bowl, cover place in fridge till your ready to use it.
  2. In a large stock pot with the heat on medium-high, add in the chicken carcass and brown for 10 minutes or so.
  3. Next, throw in the roughly chopped carrot, celery, onion, parsley, thyme, bay leaf and peppercorns. Pour in 12 cups of water and scrape up any browned bits that are on the bottom of the pot. Cover and bring up to a simmer with the lid on, for two hours.
  4. After the 2 hours are up drain the stock through a strainer into another large pot. Discard the remaining bones and veggies used.
  5. Bring the stock back up to a simmer and add the veggies. Add kosher salt, black pepper and the chopped thyme. Let simmer until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Make the dumplings/spinners. Combine the flour, salt, and water together in a bowl and stir until you have a stiff, smooth dough. Roll the pieces into cylinders, drop them into the simmering soup and boil.
  7. Lastly, add shredded chicken and stock concentrate.
  8. Stir and simmer until chicken is warmed through.
