Ingredients

• 1 3-4 pounds whole chicken
• 2 medium, chopped carrots
• 2 stalks, chopped celery stalks
• 1 medium, quartered yellow onion
• 4 cloves, peeled and crushed garlic cloves
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 bunch, tied fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 16 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and remove any giblets if included. Place the chicken in a large stockpot.

Step 2

Add the chopped carrots, celery, and quartered onion to the pot. Add the peeled and crushed garlic cloves.

Step 3

Add bay leaves, fresh thyme sprigs, the bunch of parsley, and peppercorns.

Step 4

Pour 16 cups of water into the pot, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are fully submerged.

Step 5

Sprinkle with sea salt and place the pot over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for approximately 3 to 4 hours. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the simmering process.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside to cool. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or pot, discarding the solids.

Step 8

Once the chicken has cooled enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Shred the chicken meat and set aside for adding back into the soup or saving for another use.

Step 9

Return the strained broth to the pot, adjust the seasoning with more sea salt if necessary, and bring it back to a simmer.

Step 10

Serve the broth warm as a nourishing drink, or add the shredded chicken and vegetables of choice to make it a complete soup meal.
