Ingredients:

1 5-6 lb chicken or
1 lb chicken gizzards
2 lb chicken backs and
1 lb legs and thighs
3 qt water
1 onion stuck with 2 cloves
1 leek
1 carrot
1 ; salt
10 peppercorns
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
1/2 cup green beans, finely cut
4 oz egg noodles
1 cup frozen or fresh peas
1 parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Place the whole chicken or the chicken pieces in a heavy 6-quart
kettle with the water, onion stuck with cloves, leek, carrot, 1
tablespoon salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and skim off any
scum that forms on top. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours.
Correct the seasoning. If you are using chicken parts, cook until
they are tender 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the chicken, skim excess
fat from the broth, and then remove the vegetables. (If you are not
serving the soup till the next day, it will be easier to remove the
fat if the broth is cooled and then chilled.) Pour the broth into a
container, wash out the kettle, and then return the broth to it. Add
the cut vegetables, the meat from the legs and thighs cut into small
dice, and the gizzards thinly sliced. Bring to a boil again and cook
just until the vegetables begin to tenderize and are pleasantly firm.
Add the noodles (increase the amount if you like a very thick soup)
and peas, and boil for 5 to 9 minutes or until they are cooked. Serve
in heated soup plates or bowls and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.

This deliciously filling soup is ideal for a Sunday supper,
accompanied by buttered toast or hot rolls, perhaps followed by a
salad or some excellent cheese and a bottle of red wine.

Note: Other vegetables, such as spinach, cabbage, and zucchini, as
well as mushrooms, may be added to the soup during the final cooking.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"If God grants me longer life, I will see to it that no peasant in my kingdom will lack the means to have a chicken in the pot every Sunday." Henri IV of France, in a conversation with the Duke of Savoy
