Ingredients

  

  • 80 ounce(s) chicken leg quarters
  • 1 large onions, sliced
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 celery tops with leaves, chopped
  • 1 dash(es) salt
  • 1 dash(es) pepper
  • 3 tablespoon(s) bunch fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

 

  • Place the chicken quarters in the largest pot you own with the onions, carrots and celery.
  • Fill the pot with cold water 3/4 full.
  • Season with salt and pepper and place over medium heat.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 45 minutes to 1 hour, skimming foam as necessary.
  • Stir the dill into the pot and cook 5 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat, uncover, and let cool to lukewarm.
  • Remove the chicken.
  • Get another big huge receptacle and pour the soup through a sieve into it.
  • (Discard useless destroyed vegetables and stray chicken parts).
  • Refrigerate or freeze for future use.
  • When cool enough to handle, shred or chop chicken meat for future use.
  • Authors notes: Put some of this stock away in the freezer for recipes — it’s good to add to a turkey roasting pan instead of water, to rice, and to just about everything else — or emergencies such as company, or illness.
  • If you want to make soup, put some of the stock on the stove in a soup pot.
  • When it’s about ten minutes before serving time, add some of the chicken, carrot coins, extra fine egg noodles, or celery.
