Directions:
Place all ingredients in a large soup pot. Boil lots of water and pour the water over the chicken and vegetables in the pot. Add enough water to be about 1-1/2" over the top of the chicken. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.

Simmer for a hour or so until the chicken is well done and the broth is tasty. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pot and run the broth through a sieve removing any bits that remain. Serve in a soup bowl with a homemade matzo ball, a few small slices of cooked carrot and a few bits of fresh parsley to decorate.

Use the leftover chicken and vegetables to add and make a hardy soup. You can also add soup noodles.

Personal Notes:
Grandma May showed me how to make this soup one day long ago. Leaving the peels on the vegetables adds that special flavor.
