4 cups	250g / 8.8oz	Fresh chopped tomatoes

3 teaspoons	15ml	Salt

Recipe Instructions

Cut the chicken in pieces and simmer it -- in 3 quarts of water for a thin stew or 2 quarts of water for a thick stew -- until the meat can easily be removed from the bones, for about 2 1/4 hours. If canned vegetables are used, include their juices and reduce water to 2 quarts for a thin stew and 1 quart for a thick stew.

Add the raw vegetables to the broth and simmer, uncovered, until the beans and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Add the chicken, boned and diced if desired, and the seasonings.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
