Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, giblets removed
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • water to cover
  • 2 tablespoons dried dill weed
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 leeks, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 large kohlrabi bulb, peeled and diced
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules

Steps

  1. Put chicken and onions in a large pot; pour in enough water to cover. Add dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes.
  2. Skim and discard any foam from the top of the simmering liquid. Remove chicken to a cutting board. Remove as much meat from the bones as possible and cut into chunks.
  3. Return the broth to a boil. Add carrots, potatoes, leeks, celery, kohlrabi, and parsnips. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in cooked chicken and bouillon. Season again with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is hot, about 5 minutes.
