What is a recipe that uses chicken stock, that will take advantage of the flavors of a good homemade stock?

In reading discussions of homemade vs store-bought stock, ppl say they use homemade for “delicate” soups and other recipes. For non-delicate recipes such as braises which would overpower the stock, store-bought is fine.

So what would be a good “delicate” recipe? Is butternut squash soup “delicate”?
