Step 1

Add chicken, beef bone, and turkey necks to a large Dutch oven or stock pot

Step 2

Cover with water

Step 3

Bring to a boil and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, skimming any impurities off the top to insure a clear broth

Step 4

If your pot is big enough, add the vegetables and spices for the last hour of the cooking time

Step 5

My Dutch oven wasn’t big enough to hold everything, just the chicken and other bones filled the pot, so I cooked the meat/bones for the full cooking time, then removed them, and cooked the vegetables and spices separately

Step 6

Strain everything out of the broth

Step 7

Bone the chicken, pulling the meat into large chunks

Step 8

Slice the carrots

Step 9

Return the chicken and carrots to the broth

Step 10

Cook noodles according to package instructions if you’re using them

Step 11

Add noodles to bowl and then top with hot soup
