Add 10-12 cups of water
Bring to a boil
Add salt and pepper (to taste)- you can even add a shot of hot pepper if you like it hot! and your chicken bouillon cubes (optional)
Add your carrots and celery. Cover and let cook for about 1-2 hours. Don't forget to stir!
You may add Escerole if you like a vegetable but be sure to add it early on so it cooks well
