Allow the whole thing to simmer covered for about 1 hour or so.uncover and add in the carrots and potatoes, stir well and allow to simmer again - this time UNcovered - for another 1 1/2 hours until everything is very tender and the broth has thickened up nicely. add salt and pepper to taste.Makes about 6 healthy 1.5 - 2 cup servings! this is also great to freeze portions of for another time...
