Ingredients
one head or 6 c bok choy2 32oz cans stewed tomatoes2 large or 2 c sliced onions2 c sliced bellpepper2 c sliced carrots2 c sliced celery2 chicken thighs or other preferred pieces of chicken2 quarts water1 tbsp thyme1 tbsp rosemarysalt and pepper to taste (lots of pepper is good)
Directions
boil chicken in water 30 minutes in large stock pot approx. 6 qt size, remove chicken from broth and debone, add chicken and all remaining ingredients to pot and reduce heat to low to med-low temp. Add more water if desired. Once everything is tender, you can freeze part of it for later. Keeps in the refrigerator for several days and is a great snack for when you are dieting. Sometimes I add some cooked brown rice to a bowl full when I have the rice left over. Overall its delicious and filling.Based on the amount of water, tomatoes, and cups of vegetables I estimate the number of servings to be about 18-20 one cup servings.

    I added an inch of ginger root to chicken whilst cooking, along with some crushed garlic, which just add a small zest to the flavour. - 3/25/07

    I like to refrigerate my broth until the fat surfaces and then skim it off and use light meat to reduce calories. Quite delicious! - 3/16/07
