  1. Discard all the leftover skin from chicken. Break chicken into sections that will fit in your pot and place in 5-quart stockpot with stuffing, gravy, vegetables, and water, making sure the water covers everything. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour, until stock is golden. Discard bones and vegetables.

  2. Strain the soup, rubbing through as much of the solids through the strainer as possible. Discard residue in strainer.

  3. In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Pour in strained hot soup stock and cook and stir over medium heat until smooth and bubbly. Then stir in sherry, if using, and simmer for 5 minutes. Just before serving, add the half and half and heat thoroughly, but do not boil. Serves 8
