Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 3-4 lbs) whole chicken
- 10 cups water
- 6 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 4 stalks green onions
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the 1 whole chicken and place in a large pot. Add 10 cups water, 6 garlic cloves, and 1 onion (peeled and halved). Bring to a boil over high heat.
- 2
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40 minutes. The meat should easily pull away from the bone.
- 3
Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Skim off excess fat from the surface.
- 4
When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones.
- 5
Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the strained broth. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through.
- 6
Slice 4 green onions thinly. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the green onions. Serve hot.
