We ended up making Chicken "Barleycorn" Soup from Jane Brody's Good Food Cookbook with the stock from the romertopf chicken. As I've mentioned before, I'm a big fan of Ms. Brody's soup recipes, and the Chicken "Barleycorn" Soup was no exception. Here's the second half of the recipe (I'm leaving out the preparation of the stock, since we didn't follow those directions).
Chicken "Barleycorn" Soup

3-4 cups cooked chicken meat, shredded
1/2 t. dried basil

2 celery stalks
4 cups corn kernels (two 10 oz. packages frozen kernels, thawed)
1/2 c. sliced scallions (2-3 scallions)
4 T. finely chopped fresh parsley
