No soup for U!
I will give him this much at least he is sticking to his socialist ideals... Land is for everyone and increasing the beaucracy.
Make sure you start with a fresh hen, boil covered on low for an hour in a large dutch oven or soup pot (put some spice in the water, e.g., garlic salt and pepper).
Save 2 and 1/2 quarts of the chicken broth.
Debone the chicken (it will fall of the bone) and cut into small chunks or shred it with your hands into small strands.
Cut up some onions and celery and blanch in the pot you cooked the chicken in. Put a large tomato in about 3 minutes before the onions and celery are tender.
Put 3 cups of peeled baby carrots in a covered microwave dish for five minutes (with 1/4 cup of water to keep them moist).
Open a can of stewed tomatoes and throw it (in the pot).
(At this point, you can add 2 cups of your favorite other vegetables - cook them first so they won't overcook and become mush.)
Put the broth and chicken in the pot.
LAST ITEM: Put 5 cups of fresh spinach leaves (I pick off the stems) into the bubbling soup pot for five minutes (until wilted).
Now eat this. It will cure all that ails you. If you eat it every day for five days you will lose at least three pounds and feel like a million bucks.
