2 chicken carcasses (bones from entire chicken)
1 -2 onion, cut into 1/8ths
2 leeks, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 cups baby carrots (or shredded)
6 garlic cloves, sliced into around 4 pieces
2 cups white wine (cooking wine is fine)
3 tablespoons chicken soup powder
1 tablespoon pepper (black or white)
3 -5 inches fresh ginger, peeled and cubed (thumb size pieces)
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stems removed
1/2 bunch chopped fresh dill
4 -6 scallions, chopped into 'largish' pieces (long green onions)

1
Place all ingredients into a very large soup pot.
2
Fill pot with water, almost to the top and bring to a boil.
3
Skim off any scum once the soup boils.(Optional).
4
Allow to boil for 1 hour, before tasting and adjusting seasoning, if necessary.
5
Boil for an additional 30-45 minutes, before removing bones and setting them aside. You can strip the bones of the chicken at this time, or wait until later.
6
Continue boiling the soup on a low simmer for anywhere between 45 minute- 3hours. A longer, slower boil will yield a very nice, rich flavor.
7
Once the bones have cooled off, peel and pick all the chicken pieces off the bones and put the chicken into the pot of soup. Discard the bones.
8
I sometimes make this soup and then transfer it into the crockpot to simmer on 'low' for up to 24 hours (we observe the Sabbath, so this ensures we get a hot soup for lunch). The slowly simmered broth is so rich and delicious.
