Ingredients:
8 quarts water; to cover chicken
1 whole chicken hen
2 celery stalks, cut in pieces
1 carrot, cut in pieces
1 tablespoon salt
8 whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
Directions:
1. Place the ingredients in a large stewing pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done.
2. Remove chicken and strain stock into sealable pint or quart containers.
