Kosher Revolution'S Be-All, End-All Chicken Soup

• 4 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 4 medium celery stalks, cut into thirds
• 3 leeks, white parts only, well cleaned
• 1 medium onion, unpeeled, quartered
• 2 bouquets garnis (2 crushed garlic cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 bunch dill, 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, and 4 peppercorns divided among two squares of cheesecloth, knotted to enclose)
• Two 1/2-pound pieces flanken
• One 4- to 5-pound stewing chicken, cut into eight parts, rinsed, any excess fat removed
• 3 pounds chicken legs, wings, bones and backs, any combination, rinsed, any excess fat removed

1. In a large stockpot, combine the parsnips, celery, leeks, onion and
2. bouquets garnis. Place the flanken on top and top with all the chicken.
3. Add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil slowly over medium
4. heat, 45 to 60 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, skimming to remove any surface solids every 10 minutes. Simmer another hour, skimming every 20 minutes, and transfer the breast to a medium bowl. Simmer, skimming as needed, for 11/41/4 hours more. With tongs or a slotted spatula, carefully remove the remaining chicken and the flanken and transfer to the bowl. (Reserve the chicken, skinned and boned, for chicken salad, or return to the soup.)
5. Meanwhile, fill the sink with cold water and add ice. Place a large
6. clean pot in the sink. Line a colander or strainer that fits over the pot
7. with a double layer of cheesecloth. Carefully ladle the soup through the
8. cheesecloth, trying not to disturb the ingredients at the bottom of the
9. cooking pot. When only a little soup remains, carefully tilt the pot to
10. pour it off. (Discard the pot ingredients.)
11. Allow the soup to cool to room temperature and transfer to the
12. refrigerator to chill. Remove any solidified fat from the soup and serve,
13. or freeze in a tightly sealed plastic container.
