From the kitchen of Joan Knewasser.  When you have a sore throat
& a case of the sniffles, nothing is as comforting as a steaming bowl
of homemade chicken soup.  Good with noodles or rice.

Joan eyeballs the amounts, the following amounts are what I use,
adjust to your taste.  ---Stephanie
In a large pot:
 whole chicken (4 lb bone in)
 12 c water
 2 1/2 tsp celery salt
 2 1/2 tsp garlic salt
 onion salt -- Steph uses 2 1/2 tsp onion POWDER instead
 2 tsp salt
 3/4 tsp pepper
 2 Tbsp parsley
Cook 1 hour.
Remove chicken.
Strain broth, return to pot.
Add:
 Swanson Broth (49 oz)
 3 chicken bullion cubes
 2 Tbsp parsley
 diced carrots
In a blender puree:
 insides of a bunch of celery, leaves too
 2 medium onions -- Steph uses 1
 some broth
Add to pot.
De-bone chicken & add to broth.
Cook another hour.
