This is one where you can make your own stock as you go.
Fill up your big pot with water, throw in a whole chicken, and mirepoix.
I don't want you to get overally emotional about your mirepoix--some say it's one part carrots, one part celery to two parts onions. Whatever. Sometimes you can buy bags of frozen mirepoix, and sometimes they even have peppers in them. Also, add garlic, a bay leaf, a little salt and pepper and let it rip, until the chicken is done. Usually you can tell because the chicken really starts spreading it's legs. Wink.
Remove the chicken, let cool, debone and de-skin. Set aside. I think it's okay to put one whole chicken leg in our mouth and just eat the whole thing. Well, not the skin. Don't let anyone see you do this, especially not the dog.
Now you want to add in your veggies:
Chard! I like the bags of chard, fresh or frozen, rainbow or not. Rainbow is great anytime, not just during Pride Week
Butternut squash. Make life easy and buy it precut or a bag of frozen butternut. Big old heaping cupful
Any other squash
Maybe some tomatoes? Maybe not
Fresh cabbage but coordinate with the chard
Add veggies, cook until their done. Add your chicken back in.
Enjoy. Shake your tail feather. Nothing to feel guilty about in this soup
