Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the whole chicken or chicken pieces into a large stockpot.
  2. Cover the chicken completely with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.
  4. Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set aside to cool.
  5. Strain the remaining broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, discarding any solids.
  6. Skim the fat from the surface of the strained broth.
  7. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove all skin, bones, and excess fat.
  8. Shred or break the chicken meat into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Return the skimmed broth to the clean stockpot.
  10. Add the shredded chicken, cubed potatoes, bite-sized carrots, chopped celery, chopped onion, and Beanland soup mix to the pot.
  11. Stir in the poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  12. Add enough water if necessary to ensure there are approximately 25 cups of liquid in the pot.
  13. Bring the soup back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are tender.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed before serving.
