 Method:
 Make the homemade chicken broth the night before and put into the fridge 
 to harden the fat and then remove.  Put 4 cups of the broth into the 
 crockpot with 4 cups of water add the rest of the ingredients.  The
 amount 
 of herbs you use depends on your taste as the crockpot intensifies the 
 taste so you might want to reduce the amount you use.  Cook on low
 cooking 
 for 8-10 hours.
