Did some smoked chicken soup and beer bread for the weekly contest.

Here we go:

Took a whole chicken rubbed it with Hasty Bake Greek, put some Italian dressing under the skin, and stuffed the cavity with onions and rub.

Keep the remaining skin and bones for stock

Drop the carcass into 2qts chicken broth and 1 qt water, simmer for a half hour or so to get the flavor out of the bones. After this is done strain through a colander and reserve the broth.

This came out great, nothing better than chicken soup and warm bread on a rainy day. The smokey flavor of the chicken sent this over the top and beer bread in our house is always a winner.
