I was so excited to find a chicken on sale this week since I had been wanting to roast one and to try your cream of chicken soup recipe. My husband's aunt and uncle use to raise organic chickens and I would cook them exactly the same way. I don't have a roasting pan, so I put it in a 13 x 9 pan and turn another one upside down on top of it. That worked well. Now I am boiling the bones to make more broth and hopefully more soup. = D
