Directions
My recipe is huge. It freezes well and makes many meals.

I usually get chicken breasts and cut the chicken off the bone, leaving the bone covered. I use three. The boneless chicken is frozen and saved for for another meal.

In a large stockpot, simmer chicken breast bones in broth or water with onions, carrots, celery, (garlic if desired), and any other hard veggie.

Add 8 cups of water add boullion cubes if desired(2 or 3) and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.

Add 8 cups water and all other fresh and frozen vegetables and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. (I usually use the whole bags of veggies, but you don't have to.)

Drain the liquid from the navy beans.

Add the herbs & spices according to your taste, stirring them in. Simmer this for 30-40 minutes, partially covered.

You can add almost any vegetable to this soup. Just remember to add the hard vegetables in at the start. Sometimes I will also add a can of tomatoe paste for a more rich soup.
