Made some smoked chicken noodle soup out of my half way trimmed smoked chicken carcass. Im not sure if this is a new idea (with the amount of creativity and knowledge on this forum i doubt it) but here it is! Boiled all scraps celery leaves carrots and onions for about 4 hours, strained, added fresh veggis and some of the smoked chicken near the end.  Turned out awesome!!! especially with the rub that was all over the skin. I know i know i used the wrong noodles but i honestly hate most noodle besides these....

Thanks !! i actually figured id include this as well. I also smoked some ribs in addition to the chicken and decided to make this as well... Brunswick Stew!!  I used the smoked chicken, smoked ribs (i had a ton of them), ground beef, some of the drippings from the racks of smoked ribs, and some secrets ;)  ....

I made some smoked chicken noodle soup a few months back...awesome idea! I used black rice as my starch (instead of noodles) and a little beef base instead of chicken base! The rice gave it this nice dark color...friends loved it!

That sounds pretty darn good! I didn't want to waste those delicious bones/skin so I had to do something. I really like the rice idea. I have about 8 links of homemade sausage I smoked also. Maybe I'll borrow the rice Idea and make some gumbo. Hmmm that's a lot of labor in the sausage to just toss it in something like that tho.

Nothing wrong with adding smoked goodies to soups and stews. Do it all the time.

I make a "smoked chicken noodle soup" also.  The carcass and bones are great to make your own stock with.

I also boil the carcass to make a smoke-flavored broth, both turkey and chicken. My most recent brine for my smoked turkey included smoked turkey broth that I had frozen and kept in the freezer.
