Servings: persons

2 1/2 - 3 lbs frying chicken, cut up
10 cups water (or you can use half chicken broth and half water)
1 medium onion, chopped
salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bay leaf
6 peppercorns or 1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 -2 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional) or 1 -2 tablespoon sliced green onion (optional)

1
Combine chicken and water in large pot. Bring to a boil. Skimm off any scum that rises to the top.
2
Reduce heat to med/low; cover and simmer 15 minutes.
3
Add onion, salt, thyme, bay leaf, garlic and peppercorns. Simmer covered for additional 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken falls off the bone.
4
Remove chicken, bay leaf and peppercorns from broth; cool.
5
Remove chicken from bones; cut into bite size pieces.
6
Skim fat from broth. You may want to put broth into the fridge for several hours or overnight. It is easier to remove the fat.
7
Bring broth to a boil. Stir in chicken pieces, celery, carrots and rice - I add a little more onion too. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until veggies/rice are tender. I add the peas for the last 10 minutes. If you are using noodles instead of rice, add uncooked noodles at this stage.
8
Add parsley or green onion if desired.
