Notes
Substituting bouillon granules to cubes.
Use 4-6 chicken bouillon cubes in place of the granulated chicken bouillon. Start with less, allow to dissolve and add more as needed.Substituting broth for both water and chicken bouillon.
Use 10 cups of chicken broth and start with 1/2 tsp salt, increasing the salt to the desired taste. Using broth in place of bouillon will result in a less richly flavored broth, but will still be delicious.Using a grocery store rotisserie chicken.
If using a grocery store rotisserie chicken, add all the renderings in the bottom of the continer, Then using the water (or broth) for the soup, rinse the container out into the soup to get any left behind renderings. Hot water or broth will work best for this.Nutrition
