Give vegetables a good washing. Cut the leek before cleaning to remove all of the dirt.

Peel and separate the garlic cloves. Peel the onion and cut in half.

Place the whole chicken in a large stock pot. Add vegetables. Pour water into the pot until chicken and vegetables are covered, plus 2 inches.

Bring to a simmer, not a hard boil. Be gentle! Simmer gently for 3 1/2 hours. Remove any foam that forms on the surface.

Peel and slice the carrots. Chop the celery. Cook rice or noodles. Save for later.

After 3 1/2 hours, remove chicken and vegetables and discard them. You will not use these in your soup. Strain your broth and add back to your stock pot. Your broth is done!
