1 onion, quartered
2 large scrubbed carrots, whole
1 rib celery, whole
2 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
1 teasp. lemon-pepper
1 teasp. salt
4 tabsp. minced parsley
2 green onions, root removed, left whole
1 tomato, quartered
1 bay leafAdd enough cold water to cover the chicken by about 4 inches. Bring to a boil and add 2 heaping tablespoons chicken soup base. Simmer at a medium setting until chicken is tender and falling off the bone.

Check the broth for seasoning; add salt & pepper if necessary. Strain the soup. Carrots and celery may be sliced and returned to broth if desired.
