Chicken Stew

Ingredients:
1 chicken drumstick
1 medium size onions (chopped)
2 medium size potatoes (chopped into cubes)
2 medium size tomatoes (chopped into cubes)
1 stick of celery (chopped finely)

2 tablespoons of frozen vegetables
water
salt to taste (optional)
a sprinkle of pepper

Procedures:
(1) Boiled the drumstick in a pot ensure that the drumstick is just about immersed in the water. Let it boiled till the chicken is cooked. Removed any fats from the broth if any. Take out the boiled drumstick and set it aside to cool before shredding the meat.
(2) Then add in potatoes and onions into the chicken broth. Boiled till the potatoes are soft and tender. Take out about half cup of potatoes and mashed it up and place it back into the soup (this will help to thicken the soup)
(3) Add in the celery, tomatoes and shredded chicken meat into the stew and simmer for 45 minutes uncovered.
(4) Add salt (optional) and pepper to taste
(5) Stew can be eaten with bread or rice.
