- 1 onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 rib celery

- 2 quarts water
Instructions
- Place chicken in large pot with water. Add onion, carrot and celery cut in small pieces, or whole – if you want to remove vegetables from the cooked soup.
- Tie a few sprigs of dill and parsley together with white thread or string and add to pot.
- Bring to a boil, cover and simmer two hours.
