    Description

    A slow-cooked, whole chicken becomes the delicious foundation for nutritious family meals, including the Spring Chicken Soup. Removing the bones is quick work when the meat is this tender and juicy. You'll get enough cooked chicken and rich broth for the soup, plus one or more additional meals.
