1. Get a pot. A big pot. Not one of those wimpy sauce pans. I mean a pot that can hold the equivalent of 3 or 4 chickens. 2. Get a chicken. Make sure it's plucked and all but don't skin it. If you can get a Kosher chicken all the better. Kosher meat and non-Kosher meat is very different in how its killed and prepared before it gets to the consumer. Kosher meat has all the blood drained and the meat is salted. Might have something to do with it. You can give it a fast wash before using it but don't scrub it or take off any of the skin or fat. 3. Get vegetables. White turnip (2 or 3), petriska, pasternac (parsley root), a little dill, carrots, an onion (small as it will make the soup sweet and you want it more earthy), some garlic (I like garlic in my chicken soup), salt, and a few other things based on taste and tradition. 4. Put the chicken into the pot with enough water to cover the chicken and then some. Use best judgment. Add in the whole white turnip(s) and onion. Cut up everything else and add them in as well. Put on a low flame for about 6 hours. 5. Eat. Noodles and Matzah balls are extra but the above it the basics of chicken soup. It might be the chicken fat, the vegetables mixed with the meat or something else, but it does help when your sick. There was actually an article or two on it in the New England journal of medicine a while back.
