Answer 4

You have all you need.  Throw it in a pot with a little water (be daring--use your own judgment) and put it on low for a couple of hours.  Or all afternoon.  Throw in any spices you enjoy.  Soup out of leftovers is the easiest thing to make, a lot of fun and satisfying.  

Answer 5

OK pull the meat off the bone add the veggies water chicken broth season to your taste when you cook it   ok it is not rocket science.

Answer 6

Are the chicken wings already cooked?  If so just pick the meat off.  IF not, then boil them until the meat falls from the bone.  Pick the meat out, SAVE the broth.

Strain the broth and use that as your soup base.  You can then chop the veggies and put it in the soup base with the chicken, cook on top of the stove til the veggies are done.

A little seasoning would be good.  Do you have any oregano? A pinch would be nice.

Answer 7

Ok, pull the meat(chicken) off of the bones. All you really need to do is combine all of the ingredients together in a pot, add some water and simmer on the stove for a while. You'll want to be very careful not to overcook because the chicken and all is already done.

Put the heat on about medium for the first 15-20 minutes then turn all the way down to low for another 10-15 minutes. And you can add a few herbs and spices to your taste.

Bon Appetit!

Answer 8

Yeh, Course. You Can Either Do It Thick Like A Broth.

If You Want A Runny Soup Just Blend It All & Warm It Up.

To Get It Like A Broth Get A Pan Of Boiling Water & Chop You're Potatoes Up Depending How Chunky You Want Them. Dice The Leek. Cut The Carrot & Turnip Up Into Small Chunks. Boil The Potatoes Until They Are Cooked And Soft. Add 2 Beef Stock Cubes Then Add The Rest Of The Veg. If The Chicken Is Cooked Just Cut It Up And Add It Then Leave It To Thicken.

That's What My Mum Does Sometimes
