Healing homemade chicken soup with carrots, celery, and onions - a comforting bowl for wellness.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (5 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pound celery, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 10 cups warm water as needed
Instructions:
  • Prepare the chicken by cleaning it and trimming some of the excess fat. Place the chicken in a 2-quart soup pot along with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion. Bundle the dill sprigs together using kitchen string and add them to the pot along with salt and pepper. Pour enough water into the pot to cover the chicken by 2 inches.
  • Simmer the chicken over low heat for about 3 hours until almost cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the meat from the bones, return the meat to the pot, and discard the bones. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes until heated through. Remember to remove the dill before serving.
