Personal Notes:
A 3 or 4 pound chicken and 2 1/2 quarts of water, cooked until done, makes a good broth.
I was an assistant at L. S. Ayres department store in Indianapolis for 5 or 6 years...this recipe was a favorite in their Tea Room. L. S. Ayres is no longer in business...but you can go to the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis and have lunch in a room modeled after the original tea room with a lot of the same recipes.
