Remove meat from bones and add to pot along with water, salt, onion, garlic, herbs and celery over meduim-high heat.
Once the water begins to boil, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 2 to 8 hours stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer the better the broth!

Combine broth, vegetables and chicken over medium high heat. Add additional herbs and salt to taste.
