- Add the chicken and all the vegetables to a large pot. Fill the pot with water to inches from the rim.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the rind of Parmigiano, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and placed the lid on vented. Lower the flame down to low medium and let the soup simmer for at least two hours up to four hours. The longer it simmer is the more intense the flavor will be.
