Ingredients

  • 1 (5 -6 lb) whole chickens
  • 3 large onions, cut in chunks
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled, cut in chunks
  • 3 parsnips, peeled, cut in chunks
  • 2 turnips, peeled, cut in chunks
  • 11 -12 large carrots, peeled, cut in chunks
  • 5 -6 stalks celery, stems cut in chunks
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Clean the chicken. Put in a large stockpot with enough water to cover. Bring to boil. Add onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips, and carrots. Reduce to simmer. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Keep removing the "foam fat" from the surface as it accumulates.
  2. Add parsley and celery. Cook another 45 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken from pot and save for another recipe. (The chicken is not used further for the soup.) Keep the chicken broth in the pot.
  4. Put all the vegetables in a food processor. Process them until they can pass through a strainer, then return them to the chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper.
