This is very similar to my recipe for chicken soup, but I leave the chicken in until the end. I also leave the onions whole and add celery seeds and dill weed. I also let it simmer for 3-4 hours and serve the soup clear with noodles or kreplach (meat dumplings). Your mother is right, this DOES taste best with kosher chicken! :) Thanks Deb1.

I like to cook in my spare time, but with two children and a job, finding time is tough! I also love kitchen gadgets, and read cookbooks for fun. I don't have a favorite -- I like them all!
