• Add chicken to a large stockpot with enough water to cover. 
• Simmer until tender, about an hour. 
• Remove from the pot, reserving 2 quarts of cooking liquid. 
• When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and meat. Discard skin. 
• Chop meat very finely, return it to the cooking liquid, and return the liquid to a simmer.

• slowly add them to the chicken and broth, one sleeve at a time, until the mixture reaches the consistency of a loose oatmeal.
