Remove the chicken from the pot and allow to cool enough to handle. Debone chicken and discard skin and bones. Tear meat into small pieces and set aside.
Add remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, uncovered.
Add the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes. Correct the seasoning. This recipe serves 8.
