That's exactly what I do - but, as I live alone - I get a good four meals off the chicken before making the broth - and then a good 6 bowls of soup - VERY economical and time saving - cook two times - get many meals

Made bean soup last night - leftover Christmas ham and kielbasa, navy beans, carrots, celery, onions and some broth in the freezer from a chicken carcass. Tasty. And really not a lot of work - ya have to plan ahead a bit to get the beans in the crock pot in the morning, but it only took about an hour to make the soup itself.
