½onionchopped up
3canscream of chicken soup
2Tbsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
Put the whole young chicken in a very large pot and fill with water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil then reduce heat.
Cut the 1/2 of onion into large pieces and add to water. Let the chicken and onion slowly cook until done and very tender (at least an hour).
Remove chicken from the water, warning, it should fall apart easily. You do not want to drain out the water!
Set the chicken aside to cool.
Keep the pot with water on the stove on medium heat. Empty all 3 cans of cream of chicken soup into the water left in the pot.
Peel and cut the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the soup mixture.
Now add carrots and cut up bell pepper. While this is cooking, you will want to skin and bone the chicken.
Break chicken meat into small chunks and add back to soup mixture. Let the soup continue to cook until potatoes are tender and fall of the fork when stabbed.
The last thing you will want to do is add the seasonings. These seasonings are just guidelines. Add whatever you would like seasoning wise.
