For a richer flavor, consider roasting the chicken frame in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes before adding it to the stockpot. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Celery, parsnips, or turnips would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup after the vegetables are cooked. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully. Any leftover soup can be strained and used as a flavorful chicken stock for future culinary creations.
