Every roast chicken carcass that gets thrown away is a pot of soup you wasted. Save the bones, skin, and any pan drippings. Put them in a large pot with water, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Simmer for 2 hours. Strain, return the broth to the pot, add fresh vegetables and any leftover chicken meat. This is zero-waste cooking at its finest — your grandmother did this instinctively.

Conseils de pro

  • 💡Always add a splash of broth or water when reheating chicken — it prevents drying out and adds moisture back.
  • 💡Leftover chicken keeps 3-4 days in the fridge. If you won't use it by then, freeze it in portioned bags.
  • 💡Rotisserie chicken from Costco ($7.99 for a whole chicken) is the best value ingredient in Canadian grocery stores.
