6 chicken cubes at the bottom of a pot then chop up all you favorite vegetables i used portabella, 2 different colored bell pepper, cabbage, onion, 2 cans of sliced carrots (not the water in the can tho) , 3 stalks of celery, and about 75 percent of a broccoli (no thick stems). I chopped all mine pretty rough not too small and then add it to the pot then I put just enough water to cover all the vegetables and let it cook down for 45 minutes stirring every now and then on high heat then I added (use however much u you like) garlic powder , onion powder, parsley flakes, thyme powder, black pepper, season all, and 3 Bay leaves. Then add a little bit more water and let it cook on low for 30 minutes and stir it frequently
