Favorite Basic Chicken Soup

1 soup chicken

Chicken Feet (as many as possible because they "add strength")

3 1/2 quarts water

2 onions

1 tbsp salt

2 carrots

3 stalks celery

1 parsley root

2 sprigs dill

3 sprigs parsley

Clean the chicken and feet thoroughly. Combine in a deep pot with water and oinions. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 90 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients.

Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.

Makes about 2 - 2 1/2 quarts of soup. The chicken can be strained out and used in other dishes for more frugal menus.
