Classic recipe from mom. Makes great leftovers! Try substituting egg noodles for the rice, if you like!
Ingredients:
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 quarts water
1 large onion, chopped
2 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
5 black peppercorns
6 cubes chicken bouillon, crumbled
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 pinch dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup uncooked white rice
Directions:
1. In a large pot combine chicken, water, large onion, celery with leaves, fresh parsley, peppercorns, bouillon, bay leaf, celery seed, thyme and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer 4 hours.
2. Strain stock, reserving chicken, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Skim fat from top of stock. Remove skin and bones from chicken and cut meat into bite-size pieces.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
