- Rinse the chicken and place in a stockpot or large saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil and skim the foam, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Skim any foam as necessary.
- Add the parsnip, carrot, celery, whole onion, bay leaves, pepper, thyme and salt.
- Simmer about an hour, or until a fork easily pierces any part of the chicken. Strain out the stock. You can also pick and reserve the chicken meat for other recipes.
