Bubbies Chicken Soup

Large Fowl; 6 lbs 1 Lg Kettle (10-12 qt.)

-Water; cover and bring -to a boil -Prepare 1 Lg Onion,

3 Celery stalks

1 Parsnip,

1 bn Carrot

1 bn Dill

1 bn Parsley; (a bunch of each).

Put the chicken in the pot and cover with water. When the soup comes to a boil, skim off the top, add the veggies, turn down to a simmer. Keep the lid askew, and season to taste. It`s wonderful and freezes well. Hint: put the dill and parsley in the mesh onion bag, to make for easier removal. Most would say to throw the veggies out, but I like to eat the carrots and the onion. The chicken is great in sandwiches or salad. I love it hot by itself, but you can put pieces in the soup when you serve. Add rice or noodles (cooked elsewhere) and of course there`s always matzo balls. Enjoy, NOTE: If you can`t find a fowl, use a Perdue Oven Roaster, cut up. A butcher gave me this tip once and I now use it all the time. He cut it up too. Elaine Radis, Prodigy Food & Wine Board
