What do you do with leftover roast or rotisserie chicken? You make the 4 Cs – Chicken Carrot Celery Corn Soup! It’s also something very healthy and filling. It’s not just a soup; you can make it your one dish for the day by adding noodles.
I don’t particularly like the breast of the roasted chicken; whether it’s Andok’s Manok, Chooks-to-Go, Jollibee Chickenjoy, Popeye’s, or what have you. So I told myself that I have to find something to do with the parts I do not particularly like and this is what I came up with.
