The chicken may have been a large roaster but the recipe the OP said
she made was a crock pot thing. I don't know what you get out of a
crock pot, but whatever it is it's not the drippings from a roast. I
would expect to be able to make a killer gravy/sauce from the
mysterious liquid, but I wouldn't use the carcass and leftover meat to
try to make soup. It's already cooked for hours and hours, how much
goodness is left to be transformed into soup? -aem
