Instructions

01
Add chicken to a large Dutch oven or stock pot
02
Cover with water
03
Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, skimming any impurities off the top to insure a clear broth
04
If your pot is big enough, add the vegetables and spices for the last hour of the cooking time
05
My Dutch oven wasn’t big enough to hold everything, just the chicken and other bones filled the pot, so I cooked the meat/bones for the full cooking time, then removed them, and cooked the vegetables and spices separately
06
Strain everything out of the broth
07
Bone the chicken, pulling the meat into large chunks
08
Slice the carrots
09
Return the chicken and carrots to the broth
10
Cook noodles according to package instructions if you’re using them
11
Add noodles to bowl and then top with hot soup
