black pepper to taste

1 bay leaf

In a soup pot sauté the carrots, celery, onion in the olive oil until soft but not browned. Add the whole chicken and spices, simmer for a few hours or cook all day in crock-pot. Remove all chicken and vegetables from broth. Pour the broth through a sieve or strainer. Your chicken broth is ready. To make chicken soup:
