Method:

- Turn heat down to a simmer and cook for approximately 2½ hours.
- When cool, place soup in refrigerator and let stand overnight. The next day, remove any hardened fat that is on the surface. Strain skin and bones from chicken; discard.
- Reheat soup as needed with vegetables and chicken.
ENJOY!
Tip: If freezing soup, use larger pieces of veggies and discard before freezing. If not planning to freeze soup, chop veggies in smaller pieces and add them in when reheating.
