Ingredients:

Serving

3 lbs whole chickens
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 green bell pepper
3 boiling potatoes, sliced thin
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp sweet basil
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
fresh basil leaf, finely shredded (for garnish )

Directions:

Cook chicken in large pot until done.
Cool chicken, remove skin and debone.
Cut into bite-size pieces.
De-fat and strain stock.
Return stock to large pot.
Add chicken, vegetables, salt, pepper and basil.
Cook until vegetables are done (15- 20 minutes).
Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup water.
Add to soup to thicken slightly.
For an easy Chicken Pot Pie: Pour finished soup into large casserole and top with rolled biscuits dipped in butter. (I use Bisquick mix to make it very quick and easy).
Bake at 425°F for about 15 minutes until biscuits are done.
