as thoroughly as possible. Cool.
Strain the soup. Discard the onion, parsley, bay leaf and
peppercorns, and set the other vegetablees aside. Skin the chicken
and remove the meat from the bones. Return the chicken meat, carrots,
celery, garlic cloves and broth to the pot and bring back to a
simmer, seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.
Serve the soup in big bowls, over pastina, rice or spaghettini.
This soup's curative powers are released only when the vegetables are
mashed together in the bowl. Use a fork for mashing. Use a big spoon
for eating. Makes 3 quarts.
