I love to be able to repurpose leftovers. I hate wasting food! Especially with how expensive good quality food is ! Whenever I roast chicken I always make 2 … why you ask? So usually we eat 1 that night for dinner, the second roasted chicken I use that week. I can make soup, salads, enchiladas, tacos. I mean the possibilities are endless. Saves you so much time during the week. This is one of my favorites to make.

Roasted Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Every time I roast chicken for dinner I make 2 chickens (since it takes the same amount of time) just so I can make this soup the next day.  My family loves it so much!  For breakfast my son will ask for this soup with an egg swirled in!
