Ingredients
- 4 lb chicken whole
- 1 lb carrot sliced, baby
- 5 celery sliced, stalks

- brown rice optional, or ditalini pasta
Instructions
- Boil the whole chicken for about 40 minutes. (add enough water to cover the chicken)
- Remove the chicken from broth and set aside to cool so you can remove the meat from the bones. Cut the meat into small chunks.
- Skim off all the fat you can from the top of broth (I use a ½ cup measuring cup for my scooping)
- Add remaining ingredients. Celery, Carrots, Kale, Bay Leaves, Poultry Seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 30 mins - 1 hour
- Then add back the chicken.
