Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 5 pound whole chicken
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pound celery, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 10 cups warm water as needed

Method
 

  1. Clean chicken, remove and discard some, but not all, fat. Place in a large saucepan with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion.
  2. Tie dill sprigs into a bunch with kitchen twine. Add to the saucepan, and season with salt and pepper. Add water until chicken is covered by 2 inches.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat until chicken is cooked through, about 3 hours. Remove chicken to a plate and allow to cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Remove meat from bones, cut into bite-size pieces, and return to the saucepan. Discard bones. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, about 30 minutes longer. Remove dill before serving.
