Simmer for about 40 mins on med- low, strain bones out add meat back into pot with broth add 6 cups of water
In a pan sauté with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 large onion and many carrots chopped. (I like a lot of carrots in my soup add how ever many you prefer) add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic 2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1 tablespoon of chicken broth base: saute till tender add to pot: simmer again for about 40 mins- good soup takes time.

Bring to a boil add noodles or dumplings. Today I felt like dumplings.
Dumplings
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups of flour
Mix together.
Drop by the fork into boiling soup. Dumplings will float to the top when done.
Bring to a simmer for all the goodness to collide together!
Enjoy!
