Pieces of chicken (4) (breasts, legs, thighs, wings)
1 sweet potato, skinned & diced (lg. pieces)
1 turnip, diced
2 carrots
3-4 parsnips, skinned & diced
1 lg. onion
Dill weed

Place chicken in large pot. Sprinkle vegetables around chicken. Add water to cover chicken (3/4 of pot full). Add salt and pepper to taste. Add dill weed (about 1 tablespoon). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 2 hours (or more). (Minimum cooking time not more than 3 hours. For excellent flavor, 2 hours.)

Boil up some egg noodles or other thin variety, separately and add to soup. Guaranteed to cure all ills.
