There is almost no prep, and the results will make any bubbie kvell. #stock #broth #chicken #onion #carrots #parsnip #celery #bayleaves #pepper #soup #winter #warm #recipe #home #cooking #homemade #organic #healthy #paleo #cleaneating #clean #eatclean @michaelbarthel (at Washington, District of Columbia)
