  • 1 whole stewing hen or chicken about 5 pounds, cut into 8 pieces, breast meat reserved.

Chicken Soup Preparation Method

1. Finely chop 2 tablespoon each of celery, carrot, onion and parsnip set aside.  Leave remaining large pieces of vegetable whole.  Place whole vegetables, parsley, chicken (except reserved breast meat), peppercorns, bay leaves and salt in a large soup pot.  Pour in water.  Bring to a rapid boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.  Lower heat to a gentle simmer.  Cook 1 hour.  Discard all cooked solids.  Strain soup into a smaller soup pot.

2. Halve chicken breast horizontally.  Bring soup back to boil.  Add chicken and chopped vegetables; cover and remove from heat.  Allow to sit 10 -15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

3. Remove chicken breast from stock, cut into strips and return to broth.  Reheat soup and serve.
