Chicken frame soup-thanksgiving leftovers

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! We sure had quite the feast....


We had quite a bit of leftover chicken so why not go for some chicken frame soup!! You can also do this with leftover turkey.

Ingredients:
One chicken frame with some meat still on it. (I left a good amount on but took off the big pieces) also if it is large or you're using turkey you may have to use kitchen scissors to cut it in half.
One onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
Bouillon cubes (I used 8) or two boxes chicken broth
Thyme
Basil
Parsley
Pepper to taste
Carrots
Celery
Diced tomatoes (one can, drained)
One bag uncooked egg noodles

Directions:
Place chicken frame in a large pot. Cover with water (or vegetable broth)
Add garlic, onion, celery and bring to a boil
If you're using bouillon add it now
Then turn heat down to simmer. Let simmer for 1 hour 45mins
Remove chicken frame and take the chicken off (it falls off very easily)
Skim fat off the top of the broth.
Add the chicken back in, carrots (as many as you'd like),diced tomatoes, 1/2 tsp each of thyme, basil and parsley, the bag of noodles and pepper.
Let cook on low for about 30 mins.
Enjoy!!!

We kept out the tomatoes and celery since my husband does not like it but overall was still delicious! Feel free to add more spices if you want more flavor. I kept it simple for us.
