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
Directions
-
Clean chicken and remove some, but not all, fat. Place in a 2-quart soup pot with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion. Tie all dill sprigs into a bunch with kitchen string; add to the pot with salt and pepper. Add water until chicken is covered by 2 inches.
-
Cook over medium-low heat until chicken is just about cooked through, about 3 hours. Remove chicken to a platter and allow to cool slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut meat off the bones, place meat back into the pot, and discard the bones. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, about 30 minutes longer. Remove dill before serving.
Cook's Note:
If you don't like to add tomato (like some of my family members), just put a whole tomato in the pot just for the flavor and take it out when the soup is done.
