Chicken Soup

This is chicken soup how my mom makes it. Perfect for the cold season, just heartwarming.

You need: 1 whole chicken
1 onion
couple carrots,
couple celery sticks
peas or any other veggie you like in the soup
rice or small noodles cooked seperate
Chicken bullion cupes
wash your chicken, take the inner organs who come with it out, you don't need them for this recipe.
Place Chicken in a big pot and fill it up with water, until chicken ist coverd.
Cut Onion in quaters, cut carrots and celery in bigger pieces (they are just in there for cooking to give some taste, they gonna be thrown away after cooking)
Put the bullion cupes in the water.
Bring to boil and than cook coverd on low to medium heat for at least 90 min (depends on size of chicken) up to 120 min.
Remove chicken und place on cutting board.
take all veggies out of the soup, throw them away.
Cut chicken in small bite size pieces, cut of the skin (it's pretty sloppy so it doesn't taste really good)
Season soup to taste with Salt, pepper, nutmeg etx.
Pour in Peas or any other veggie you like, sprinkle with parsley.
To prevent that noodles or rice gets overcooked, I cook them seperatly an add them directly to the plate and pour the soup over it.
