Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 kilogram chopped carrots
1 kilogram onions
4 cloves minced garlic
Salt, pepper, parsley, and dill to taste

Directions

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a full boil.
  2. Reduce the heat to a simmer and skim off any foam that develops.
  3. Add the chopped carrots and onions, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, adding water as necessary.
  4. Mince the garlic and add, then season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, and dill.
  5. For a thicker soup, remove a cup of the vegetables, puree in a mixer or food processor, then add them back into the soup.

Variation: For extra congestion-busting power, add a few dashes of cayenne pepper and a tablespoon of chopped fresh ginger to this recipe.
