- Start by taking the meat off of the rotisserie chicken and setting aside on a plate. Keep the carcass and bones.
- In a large stockpot on medium heat, add olive oil and wait for it to shimmer. Throw in the celery, carrots, onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the water, parsley, chicken carcass, cube of chicken bouillon and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low heat for 1-2 hours.
