Well i think I listed everything up top. *ponder* Anyhow, this recipe can get a little messy to cook but it's well worth turning your kitchen into a V-8 factory.

Fill a stockpot with water (for measurement, I usually use the rivets on the inside where that handles are attached to the pot; that works fine for me). Toss that on the stove, turn it to med-high, and throw in your chicken drumsticks. As these cook, the fat will bubble up as a foam to the top. This will need to be skimmed off with a slotted spoon. Save it for the dog if you want; he'll love you forever. Otherwise throw it away.

When the foam stops building up, you're ready to add some veggies. Chop them up into chucnks; it doesn't matter what size or shape. You're about to cook the shit out of them anyhow. Throw the garlic cloves in, cut the onion in half and chuck that in too. Put in one stalk of celery and add all the leaves you can get off of it; preferably the nice dark ones from the top. They add a LOT of good flavor. Chop up the potato, throw it in too, add the buillion. Same for the tomato after some slight prep**. Also add a little salt and some oregano.

Long story short, add veggies. Simmer until they're falling apart... usually 1-2 hours. At that point, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken. De-bone it, get rid of the skin if there was any, and pull it into pieces (yeah, you're gonna get messy). Be careful. It's hot. Set the chicken pieces aside.

Use a slotted spoon to skim all of the vegetables out of the broth. Toss them into a food processor with a little bit of the chicken and a little broth and blend them into mush.

Add the chicken and the pureed veggies back into the soup and simmer it again for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Serve with rice or orzo pasta, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

** = to skin a tomato: cut a small "x" at the top of it with a sharp knife. Boil water in the microwave (don't fll the container up all the way)... and then toss the tomato into it. The tomato skin should crack and peel shortly, leaving it easy to pull off. Next, you also want to cut it open and try to remove the pulp and seeds, or most of them. Then you're good.
