Wskazówki

• Pull skin off chicken but keep bones on (can keep skin on but then you need to spoon the fat off).

• Chop carrots, celery, and onion into chunks.

• Most humans like chopped parsley, so add as you wish, but since I don’t, I leave the whole bunch in there for flavor and take it out before serving.

• Peel sweet potato and add it whole.

• Add cold water + 2 cubes to cover everything in the pot.

• Bring to a boil, then simmer

• Cook until the chicken is cooked, then remove it.

• Shred the chicken, return it to the pot.

• Optional: add the bones back to the pot - adds flavor but some get small and break (remove before serving).

• Remove the sweet potato and blend it with the broth, return it to the pot.

• Cook for 4ish hours.

• Remove the herbs + peppercorns if added.

• Salt and pepper to taste - also can squeeze lemon juice at the end
