2. 2Trim any excess fat and skin off of chicken and place it in a pressure cooker or stock pot.
3. 3Give the celery, carrots and onions a rough chop and add to pot. Add all remaining ingredients.
4. 4Add water so it covers the ingredients by a couple inches. If using a pressure cooker, do not exceed the max fill line. In my pressure cooker, I add about 12 cups of water. In a stock pot, I generally add 12-16 cups.
