  8. Remove chicken from pot

  14. Remove bones, skin, & fat from chicken, chop it into bitesize pieces & add to stock.
  15. Bring stock to a boil
  16. Add about a cup of rice (I use brown rice)
  17. Now add fresh ground black pepper (I like a lot especially if we have colds) and/or hot sauce - to taste
  18. It is ready when the rice is cooked
  19. Check that it has enough salt before you serve.
  20. If you want Chicken Noodle cook all the ingredients (except rice) for about 30 minutes then add the noodles of your choice and cook about 1 minute short of suggested time.
  21. For chicken & dumplings - we like flat dumplings so I use flour tortillas cooking the stock until the vegies are done, and after I turn off the fire under the stock, I cut up the tortillas and drop them individually into the pot stirring occasinally & serve
