GRANDPA'S GARDEN CHICKEN SOUP
Grandpa sends me veggies from his huge garden every year and I use 'em for this soup, which has been called 'the best soup I've ever eaten' by friends. It's pretty unstructured and can change to meet your personal tastes. It's basically a chicken veggie soup; it's the FRESH veggies that make it the best. I just throw stuff in until it looks and tastes the way I want it to. It's also GREAT if you're sick; I swear it'll cure what ails ya! YUM! The longer you SLOWLY cook the soup, the more flavorful it becomes. I often eat a bowl while it's simmering 'cause I can't wait.

Steps:
- Put chicken pieces in a large stockpot; pour enough water over chicken to cover completely. Add onion, celery, bouillon cubes, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper to the pot; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove and discard celery chunks. Remove chicken to a cutting board to cool; cut as much meat as possible from the bones and chop roughly. Return chicken to stock.
- Stir potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, and turnip into the soup; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cabbage, corn, green beans, and tomato; cook until the green beans are tender, 7 to 10 minutes more.

GRANDPA'S CHICKEN
This is one of Grace's favorite recipes since she was a little girl! It's named Grandpa's Chicken because Grandpa Olm always used to make this for the kids when he would have them over for supper at his house.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken: Use organic, free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
- Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken in a simple mixture of water, salt, and sugar for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from burning.
- Cook the chicken slowly: Cooking the chicken slowly over low heat will help to develop its flavor and make it more tender.
- Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is the best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the pot.
- Let the chicken rest: After you remove the chicken from the pot, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Grandpa's Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your Grandpa's Chicken turns out perfect every time.
