Healthy Chicken and Veg Broth

Place the chicken in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the bay leaf, juniper berries, peppercorns and onion and bring to the boil. Simmer for approx. 1.5 hours, making sure that the chicken is covered with water and adding more if necessary.

Remove the chicken from the stock and let cool. Sieve the stock, remove the fat if wished and boil to reduce as required.

Add the vegetables to the stock, Season with salt and pepper and simmer gently for approx. 10 minutes.

Remove the chicken meat from the bones, removing the skin. Chop the meat and add it to the soup to reheat. Check the seasoning.
