Woke up this morning to a sick child.  The only thing she wants while sick is me and my homemade chicken broth.  I always have some on hand in the freezer, frozen in ice cube trays and transferred to a bag.  I put a few in a cup, microwave until melted and hot.  Sometimes I'll cook noodles and put into it also.  Here is my recipe for the chicken broth.
1 whole small chicken
3/4 carrots
1 large onion
1 large sweet potato
4/5 stalks of celery (including leaves)
1 bunch of parsley
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
I boil the chicken in a large stock pot for about 2 hours.  Add veggies, and boil for another 1 1/2 hours.  Remove chicken, bones, and veggies from pot.  Discard bones, put chicken in another container (save for soup or a different meal).  Place veggies in blender and puree, add back to broth.  Veggie puree will thicken it a bit, if it is too thick for your liking, you can add a little water, or canned chicken stock.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
