Basic Chicken Soup

1 whole chicken, cleaned of excess fat and rinsed well

enough water to cover completely

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped

1 large carrot, coarsely chopped

2 medium celery with leaves, coarsely chopped

1 fresh sprig Rosemary about 4"

8 sprigs of fresh Thyme, oregano and marjoram

small bunch fresh parsley

 

Bring the ingredients above to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for at least one hour until chicken falls off its bones.  Cool to room temperature and strain stock.  Clean the chicken separating the meat from the bones and breaking it up into small bite sized pieces. Add the chicken back to the stock and add any additional ingredients you would like to the soup such as corn, dumplings, vegetables, or pasta.  Cook until done.
