Chicken noodle soup for the "yucks"

After picking up my prescription yesterday, I purchased ingredients to make a big pot of chicken soup. It is such a comfort food when one feels like they just can't blow their nose one more time! : )

Here's how I make it: One whole chicken, chicken broth and water, carrots, celery, garlic cloves, fresh parsley, a whole yellow onion cut up, scallions, pepper and a pinch of clove. (noodles optional...but, if you ask me...the more the merrier!)

Fill large pot with enough liquid to cover the chicken, etc. Bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer until the chicken meat comes away from the bone and the veggies are tender.

Sip slowly...and, savor! : )
