Preparation steps

1.
In a large stockpot set over medium-high heat, combine the chicken pieces, water, bouillon, peppercorns and cloves. Cover and bring to a boil; skim foam with a fine wire mesh strainer. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is tender.
2.
Remove chicken from pot and set aside until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, strain broth and return to stockpot to cool. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; discard bones and skin and cut chicken into a small dice.
3.
Skim fat from cooled broth. Return diced chicken to stockpot; add soups, vegetables and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Uncover; increase heat and bring to a gentle boil.
