1
Pour the vegetable oil into a large stockpot and heat.

Brown the chicken wings in two or more batches, depending on the size of your stockpot.

Remove the chicken, and drain the fat from the pan.

Return the chicken to the pan, and add the wine.
6
Bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add 6 quarts cold water to the pot and bring to a simmer, skimming off any scum that rises to the top.
8
Stick the clove in the onion and add to the pot, along with the shallots, celery, garlic, leek, parsley, thyme, orange peel, bay leaf, ginger, and salt and pepper.
9
After an hour, add the whole apple.
10
Simmer for another hour, and remove from the heat.

Allow to cool before removing the fat from the top.
12
Then strain, return the soup to the pot, and bring to a boil, reducing to about 4 quarts.
