Simmer the whole chicken with onions, carrots, and celery in lightly salted water for 2 hours.
Alternatively, use boxed/store-bought chicken or vegetable broth with leftover chicken or tofu.
Consider using tomatillos for their acidity and pectin content; adjust acidity if using tomatoes with vinegar, lemon, or lime juice.
Add basil as the primary herb for flavor.
Yield: 4 servings.
